Everton is not the first English club to use Sarkodie's song in a video. Earlier this month, West Ham United also played Otan in a video showcasing the performance of their Ghanaian star, Mohammed Kudus, who scored the fixture.

Many have expressed their gratitude to the clubs for promoting their music and culture on a global platform.

We have seen artistes come and go, but Sarkodie is still with us, and Otan proves why he has been relevant for so long. Sarkodie really knows how to produce a good record. He releases wonderful music year after year. He does not seem like slowing down anytime soon. He said.
