I Think Etouga Will Win The Goal-King Award – Kwame Peprah
Former King Faisal forward and Orlando Pirates star, Kwame Peprah, has tipped Franck Mbella Etouga to be the top scorer of the Ghana Premier League this season despite strong competition from Yaw Annor.
Etouga, who has been the main man for Asante Kotoko this season leading with 21 goals with AshantiGold’s Annor just a goal behind him.
The Cameroonian international has been heavily tipped to break the jinx by becoming the first foreigner to win the award but the resurgence from Yaw Annor has raised doubts over Etouga setting a record.
However, Peprah, who was King Faisal’s top scorer last season believes the Kotoko striker will edge out the Miner to clinch the prize.
“Mbella [Etouga] has done a very good job from when the season started, but Yaw Annor is also in top form now. For me, I think Mbella has led the goalscoring chart for a long time throughout the season so it will be very good for him to win,” the 21-year-old said.
Etouga’s goals have seen Kotoko end a seven-year wait for a league title while AshGold find themselves 10th on the league table.
