The 20-year-old had a sterling spell in the just ended Ghana premier league season with 4 goals, 3 assists, 1 man of the match award helping the Sogakope based side to a record third place finish.
The numbers have caught the eye of the National Under 23 coach Paa Kwasi Fabin who has reportedly penciled him down for a call up.
