Asante Kotoko wonder kid Matthew Anim Cudjoe set sight on emulating Barcelona ace Lionel Messi

Asante Kotoko wonder kid Matthew Anim Cudjoe has set emulating Barcelona super star Lionel Messi on sight.

Cudjoe joined Asante Kotoko on loan from second-tier club Young Apostles Football Club at the beginning of this season and he has impressed during his first season at Kotoko.

Most Kotoko supporters missed Cudjoe’s displays due to the current halt of the Ghana Premier League from covid-19 pandemic.

However, the dribbling kid has revealed complying to whatever instructions given to him by his father, coaches and team mates.

“I am focusing on my game. I am training, sleeping well and following the instructions that my father Samuel Anim Cudjoe, coaches and my teammates are giving me,” Anim Cudjoe told Kotoko Express App.

Having been branded as Messi look-alike in terms of style of play, the attacking midfielder has finally reiterated reaching the same level as the Barcelona star and Ghana legends Asamoah Gyan and Abedi Ayew Pele.

“I listen to them (father, team-mates and coaches) a lot and always try to do what they tell me to do. If God permits, I can reach the level where Lionel Messi, Abedi Pele, and Asamoah Gyan reached. That is my target.”

Cudjoe’s talent hit huge recognition when he won the 2018 Baya Jet youth tournament, a tournament organized by Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan to unearth most talents in Ghana.

At just 16-years-old, Cudjoe has already held trials with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, and PSG, Arsenal and Manchester City are reportedly tracking the Ghanaian International as the chase from European club elites continues.
