Asked on what trophy he prefers to win between the World Cup, the Champions League and the Premier League, the former Bristol City forward was quick to reveal his admiration for winning the coveted World Cup trophy.
“The World Cup, without a doubt. Winning the World Cup with Ghana would be something beyond words,” he added.
