Although Fabio Gama sees himself the most talented in the league, he also adds players like Ibrahim Salifu of Hearts of Oak, Augustine Boakye formerly of WAFA and Gladson Awako are some of the fine players he has encountered.

“We have many good players in Ghana. In my mind, I am always at the top but we have good players,” he said.

“Boakye from WAFA, we have Salifu Ibrahim, very good. We have the number 10 from Great Olympics [Awako], Ganyiu and Mudasiru of Kotoko. We have many, many good players. It is impossible to choose 3 or 5 or 10 options because you have more than that.”

Fabio Gama and Asante Kotoko failed to win the Ghana Premier League and failed to defend the FA Cup after losing to Berekum Chelsea in the quarter finals.
