Ghana forward, Kamaldeen Sulemana, has named Black Stars great Michael Essien as one of the best African players to ever play in the English Premier League.
In a five-a-side team selected by the Southampton winger, he included the former Ghanaian midfielder alongside Ivorian legends Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure, Nigeria’s Jay-Jay Okocha, as well as Egyptian sensation Mohamed Salah.
“I’m not choosing a goalkeeper because we are playing small poles, tiki-taka format, okay? Here they are: Yaya Toure, Michael Essien, Jay-Jay Okocha, Mohamed Salah, Didier Drogba
“Mohammed Salah will play on the right, Jay-Jay Okocha will play on the left, and then two players to hold in the middle with Didier Drogba up front. What a team with flair,” Kamaldeen Sulemana told Showmax in an interview.
Kamaldeen Sulemana, 23, has recently been in fine form for Southampton. Although the club has been relegated from the English Premier League, he has been a bright spot in the last few games.
He will be a key man for the Saints next season when the team competes in the English Championship.
