Veteran sports broadcaster, Kwabena Yeboah beleives Asante Kotoko playmaker, Fabio Gama is a better player than Ibrahim Salifu of Hearts of Oak.
Gama and Salifu have dominated the local headlines due to the impressive outings for the respective clubs.
But according to the president of Sports Writers Association of Ghana [SWAG], Salifu is physically good but Gama is more intelligent and better on the ball than the former Techiman XI Wonders talisman.
“Sallifu is more combative, in terms of physicality he beats Gama but for me in terms of raw football intelligence, reading the game and passing, there’s no way Salifu compares with Gama," he told Kumasi based Oyerepa FM.
“I think Gama is slightly ahead. Salifu is a young lad, Gama is around 30 yrs, there’s a lot Salifu has to learn from and I think he is a huge potential no question about that,” he added.
The 28-year-old Brazilian has scored three goals and provided four assists in 18 matches for the Porcupine Warriors since his arrival at the club this season and has also been named as Man-Of-The-Match once.
However, Salifu has been a key player for the Phobians in their last four matches played.
He has scored the winner against Bechem United last weekend.
The diminutive midfielder has also provided two assists in 20 matches this season in the Ghana Premier League and has won the Man-Of-The-Match accolade on seven occasions.
