Whiles speaking in an interview with Accra-based Original FM, the Asante Kotoko board member said, “The feeling was great last night.

“I was even thinking that she will win the best player of the year but not the Inter-club or young player of the year.
“The feeling was great because it has been a long time for Ghana to win CAF award both men and women. We are happy.
“She deserves it because of the good job of Coach Yussif Bassigi. It was all joy. I will congratulate her.
