Black Satellites striker Percious Boah is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Ghana and Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew.
Boah has scored three goals so far and is the second top scorer at the 2021 Total Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), behind Uganda’s Derrick Kakooza whose hattrick against Tunisia on Monday took his tally to five.
The Dreams FC youngster says he looks up to Jordan Ayew, who currently plies his trade in the English Premier League with Crystal Palace.
"I have never met him personally but one day I hope to meet him and shake his hand when the time is right."
"I watch him play for the Black Stars and his club too and he really inspires me a lot in the way he plays and what he has achieved in his career. I would like to follow in his footsteps and also play for a big team in the world," he said as quoted by cafonline.com.
"It is just a matter of time and putting in the hard work. I am happy with the man of the match award and I know this is going to push me to work more."
Ghana will take on Uganda in the final of the on-going Total U-20 AFCON on Saturday in Nouakchott.
