”I will work hard for it. I know it will come with a lot of challenges but I will stay focused and disciplined. I will stop at nothing to see that come to pass,” Ohene Gyan told BBC Sport Africa

A member of his school‘s team at Berekum Presby Senior High School, Gyan showed a spark that dazzled scouts. “I was involved in school sports from a young age. I captained my basic school, senior high school and the regional team, which was made up of students selected from the various schools in the region.”

The 18-year old was signed from Ghanaian outfit EurAfrica Academy. Football agent Oliver Arthur spotted him during a sports competition for Ghanaian High Schools named Interco.

“Initially my mother wanted to send me to Asante Kotoko, one of the biggest clubs in Ghana, but that did not happen because the club’s academy had not taken shape then,

“Instead they took me to the EurAfrica Academy and I am very thankful to them for that decision. I will never forget what they have done for me.” Gyan concluded.
