Afriyie Barnieh is a national asset, would’ve been my first choice player as Black Stars coach - Karim Zito

Coach Karim Zito described Ghanaian player Daniel Afriyie Barnieh as a national asset who must be closely monitored.

Karim Zito openly stated that if he were the coach of Ghana’s senior national team, Afriyie Barnieh would be the first player he would have chosen.
