South African based Ghanaian defender Prince Awuku has set his sight on picking a slot on the national U20 side after a breakthrough season in Johannesburg.
The Buksburg FC centre back is relishing the prospect of getting his dream call up by the handlers of the Black Satellites team ahead of the qualifiers next month.
The 19 year old former Eastern Rovers utility defender has been a revelation for South African second tier side and has called on management of the Juvenile team to extent their scouting network to the lower tiers as well.
The confident speaking Awuku admitted to the competitive nature of the satellites team but has readied himself to compete for a place at the back given the chance.
The former King Solomon Colts player hailed the handlers of the national teams for their tremendous efforts targeted at assembling the best players in the interest of Ghana football ahead of the 2017 FIFA U20 WYC.
“For now I am looking at doing enough to earn a place in the national U20 side after my breakthrough season here in South Africa.
“My main target for the season is to enjoy my football and probably get a call up to show my worth to Ghanaians.” He stated.
He said, “The handlers of the U20 side have been doing a great job in the past season and I am sure they will continue to make us proud as players with neutral playing grounds.
“I believe kind of league I play in really doesn’t count as I believe in my quality and not the league status.” Awuku told sports crusader.
Awuku passed through the ranks of King Solomon before heading to South Africa for a three year deal with Buksburg FC in the lower tier league.
