“I’ll compete in whichever position the manager wants me to play.

“I’m here to help the team and my teammates.

“Everyone knows that things haven’t been going as well as expected, but I’ve seen a lot of quality amongst my new teammates.

“We can do something good between now and the end of the season.”

A utility man, Wakaso can play in defensive, central or offensive midfield, at left-back or as a left winger.

Although he started his international career as a left winger, he has recently been deployed at the centre of the park in Ghana shirt.
