Kwesi Appiah shines at AFCON 2015

Appiah shot into prominence in Ghana when he excelled at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, where Ghana narrowly missed out on the title, losing to Cote d'Ivoire in a marathon penalty shootout.

Born in Greater London, England, he was eligible to play for the European nation but opted to play for the four-time African champions and was drafted into then-coach Avram Grant's 23-man squad for the AFCON.

Despite the skepticism surrounding his call-up, Appiah silenced his detractors when he scored for Ghana in a quarterfinal clash against Guinea.

He could not add to his tally in his subsequent games but soon became a toast for Ghanaians with his total output.

Appiah has two goals seven games played for Ghana.
