He has also captained the team in two matches and has scored in a game against Japan this world cup. He was also jointly the second top scorer for the Champion’s League this season which amounted to 10 goals.

Thomas Partey (aged 25) who plays as the midfielder of Atletico Madrid is a team regular for his side and has appeared as a substitute in the Europa League finals. He has also scored in friendly matches for Ghana against Iceland and Japan.
