His performance has seen him become a regular at both Accra Hearts of Oak and the Congolese national team.

He is expected to play a key role in the upcoming games as the East Africans eye a World Cup ticket to Qatar 2022.

Ovouka will immediately return to join his Hearts of Oak teammates, who will be leaving for Guinea on September 10, 2021, for the preliminary stage first leg game against CI Kamsar.
