Afena-Gyan’s late goal marked his third of the season with five assists in 24 games of the current campaign. He joined Amedspor on loan from Italian side Cremonese with the deal including an option to make it permanent.

He previously played for Serie A giants, AS Roma under Jose Mourinho and previous loan stint at Juventus Next Gen.

He has eight caps for Ghana and he played a key role in the Black Stars qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup but he was eventually dropped for the final squad for the tournament in Qatar.
