Ghanaian youngster Felix Afena-Gyan reacts to playing for AS Roma and Black Stars

Ghanaian youngster Felix Afena Ohene-Gyan has opened up on playing for Italian giants AS Roma and the Black Stars of Ghana.

The 19-year-old who was promoted to the senior team at Roma after a superb brace against Genoa last year made his debut for the Black Stars during the World Cup play-off against Nigeria.

He featured in both legs as Ghana booked a place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament to be staged in Qatar later this year.

Gyan made a good account of himself in his debut appearance for the West African powerhouse.

He is expected to feature in the Europa Conference League tonight when Roma take on Bodo/Glimpt.

According to him, playing for one of the biggest clubs in Italy and the national team is good for his growth.

“It’s good for my growth to be playing here [in Roma] and to be playing for my national team. I have really positive feelings

“It’s hard to play on artificial pitches. You have to have a strong mentality – we will do our best to adapt”, he said ahead of Bodo/Glimpt game.

He has scored 2 goals in 14 games since gaining promotion to the senior team at Roma.
