Published on: 10 June 2024

Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey has praised the qualities of Black Stars new boy Brandon Thomas Asante, saying he is a good finisher and a hard worker.

The West Bromwich Albion attacker earned his maiden Ghana call up following an impressive performance in the just ended season after scoring 12 goals in 43 appearances for the club.

Asante is yet to make his debut for the national team after warming the bench in the Black Stars hard-fought win over Mali in matchday three of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Jordan Ayew climbed off the bench to score the winning goal to secure a 2-1 win over the Eagles of Mali.

“Brandon is good in my observation he has settled well, he seems to be enjoying himself and I think you know he is a good finisher and he works hard for the team” he told GFA media.

Tariq Lamptey delivered an outstanding performance for the Black Stars last Thursday and is expected to command starting role against Central Africa Republic.

Ghana will host the Wild Beast of Central Africa Republic on Monday night at the Baba Yara Stadium.
