Ghana legend, Asamoah Gyan, has praised youngster, Ernest Nuamah, describing him as the next big star in Ghana football.
The 19-year-old was handed a maiden call-up to the Black Meteors squad by Ibrahim Tanko for the CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers.
Nuamah grabbed an assist in the first leg against the North African side in the first leg in Annaba where the game ended 1-1.
The FC Nordsjaelland youngster wowed the fans at the Baba Yara Stadium on Tuesday following his impressive performance against Algeria in the reverse leg on Tuesday.
Following his impressive performance, Gyan, who is the country’s all-time leading goal scorer, believes Nuamah is the next big star in Ghana football.
“Another next big thing for Ghana. Check out the jersey number his is wearing,” Gyan tweeted.
