"I really like to end it [shot], especially from afar. It will make me grow more. Everyone has helped me by telling me what I have to do," he added while explaining what playing in Portugal would mean for him.
The teenager started the 2021/22 season with Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC and was a part of Ghana's squad at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
