Cobinna and Asensio have similar traits, both cultured left footers and the former’s goal against Mali in the second group game of the WAFU championship is quite reminiscent of Asensio’s belter against Barcelona in the Spanish super cup.

The Accra Hearts of Oak star joined the club at the beginning of season following an unsuccessful spell in Saudi Arabia with Najran FC.
