Hearts of Oak defender Mohammed Alhassan has praised Ashantigold winger Yaw Annor for his outstanding performance in the just ended Ghana Premier League season.
Yaw Annor enjoyed an amazing campaign, scoring 22 goals in 30 matches in the just ended domestic top-flight.
He finished the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season as the topscorer with 22 goals, equaling Ishmael Addo’s 21-year-old record.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Wontumi FM, Mohammed Alhassan eulogized Yaw Annor performance in the just ended season, naming him as the best player of the season.
“I played against both Frank Mbella and Yaw Annor and the truth of the matter is that, Mbella is a typical striker and clinical. Yaw Annor is not a typical striker but he is clinical but he is also a player who is focus on scoring whenever he surges forward”
“Every coach would love to work with Yaw Annor considering his qualities. He being a winger and winning the goal king in Ghana is a plus for him. He is my best player of the season”
Meanwhile, the defender has named Daniel Afriyie Barnieh as the best player in the Hearts of Oak team in the just ended season.
“I will name Afriyie Barnieh as Hearts of Oak’s Best Player of the Season because he has had an outstanding season,” he said.
Afriyie Barnieh was part of the Black Stars squad that participated in the Kirin Cup in Japan earlier this month.
He made his debut against Japan after coming on as a second-half substitute.
The 21-year-old is hoping to be named to the Ghana squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
