The young winger has experienced plenty in his career to date, including featuring at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the Africa Cup of Nations, in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, as well as in the Premier League with the Foxes.

However, it is a more recent trauma which comes to mind when discussing his proudest moment in the game. The 21-year-old had a long road to recovery from an ACL injury sustained on international duty in November 2024.

Finally returning to the pitch in pre-season.

But, eight months later, he was back, playing for the first time during pre-season, ahead of beginning the 25/26 campaign.

“I think I would choose that one because that’s the biggest difficulty I’ve ever experienced in my football career,” the Ghanaian explained.

“Me getting into this situation and being able to come back to play again and not feeling different between me being injured and me not being injured, it’s something that is my proudest moment.”

The difference maker against the Cherries.

A superb extra-time strike at Vitality Stadium also sticks out as another highlight, ensuring Leicester City progressed into the quarter-finals of the 23/24 Emirates FA Cup, following a 2-1 victory on the South Coast.

“I had a couple of games where I got that feeling of pride that this has happened,” he added. “One of them was against Bournemouth, the FA Cup game when I scored the last-minute goal.

“I just felt so good getting to that level of helping my team to get to the next stage of another competition.”
