Istanbul Basaksehir defender, Jerome Opoku, says it’s always an honour to represent Ghana after featuring in the Black Stars’ international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda.
The lanky forward started the game against the Super Eagles but was sent off on the hour mark despite an impressive display.
Opoku scored his debut Ghana goal in the 2-2 draw against Uganda, lasting the entre duration of the game in Marrakesh, Morocco.
The England-born centre-back was one of the best players from the two friendlies in the international break, making a claim for himself ahead of June’s World Cup qualifiers.
“It’s always an hounour,” an excited Opoku wrote on his official (X) account after the two matches.
The former Fulham youngster will return to Turkey to rejoin his Istanbul Basaksehir teammates for the rest of the season.
Opoku, a former Fulham FC player, is currently on loan at the Super Lig outfit from Portuguese club Arouca FC.
The Istanbul-based club have the option of making the deal a permanent one at the end of the season.
