Black Stars midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has been named among the 100 best footballers in the world by the Guardian newspaper.
The 24-year-old was among the 36 midfielders who made the cut and also one of the 13 Italian Serie A players.
Asamoah has been described as a perfect modern footballer who is fit, strong, quick, versatile, modest, and hard-working.
Juventus regard him as one of the best signings they have made in the post-Calciopoli era.
Antonio Conte reinvented him as a marauding wide man, where his energy and agility enabled him to be effective in defensive and offensive duties – and he provides a string of assists and the odd goal too.
As Claudio Marchisio says: “He’s got great physical and technical qualities – everything needed to be a success at Juventus.”
Asamoah is ranked 87th with Lionel Messi topping the list at No1.
