Young Ghanaian attacker Felix Afena-Gyan has made his debut for Italian side AS Roma in their 2-1 victory over Cagliari.

He replaced Matias Vina in the 57th minute with Roma trailing 1-0 after Leonardo Pavoletti scored for Cagliari.

Afena-Gyan caught the attention of AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho after his recent display for the Giallorossi’s U-19 side.

He was in the match day squad for Roma’s game against Napoli but was unlucky to miss out on the action.

The attacker who is represented by Ghanaian football agency ArthurLegacy showed glimpses of his quality with his brilliant hold up play especially eye catching.

His performance has been met with a lot of excitement among Ghanaians on social media who believe he's shown enough on his debut to earn the trust of manager Jose Mourinho.
