First game you watched live as a supporter?
It was Accra Hearts of Oak v Asante Kotoko, who are the two biggest teams in the Ghana Premier League. I don’t remember exactly when it was, but it’s the biggest game in Ghanaian football and was played at Accra Sports Stadium.
I went with my older brother to watch the game, so it was really nice because I always wanted to be able to play in the stadium like I do now with my country. What a journey!
First football hero?
When I was growing up, it was Thiago Alcântara, because I liked how he played.
I like players who entertain the fans and want to score. I know there’s a lot at stake, but it’s a sport at the end of the day, and it’s entertainment, so I like players that get fans off their seats.
First football boots?
I don’t think I can remember what my first football boots were. I wasn’t privileged enough back in the day to wear nice boots, and would wear anything to play football.
First kit?
I would say it was a Strong Tower kit. They were my local team in Ghana before I made the move to the Right to Dream Academy.
First mentor in football?
A lot of people have been mentors on my journey, but I will say my older brother, as he took me under his wing and inspired me a lot and was always trying to get me football shirts and football boots.
First professional game?
It was in Denmark at FC Nordsjælland, against Brøndby IF only three days after my 18th birthday, in August 2018. I started the game and became the ninth youngest player to debut for the club, but unfortunately we lost 2-0.
First professional goal?
It was against FC Midtjylland with FC Nordsjælland in March 2019, and we drew 3-3. I chased a long ball over the top to help set up an attack, and then tapped in a cross at the front post. It’s a moment I’ll never forget.
First red card?
It was also with FC Nordsjælland. I made two mis-timed challenges and was given two yellow cards against Lyngby Boldklub in November 2019.
