"I'm extremely delighted. Grateful to Mister Jose Mourinho," he wrote on Twitter with a lovely video of him and the manager.

Jose Mourinho handed the teen sensation his Italian serie A debut in a game against Cagliari last late last month, and the youngster has not looked back since then.

He became the first born in 2003 to score a goal in the Italian topflight league.

AS Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has followed through on his promise to buy Afena-Gyan his most-wanted pair of footwear if he scored in the Sunday's Genoa game.

YEN.com.gh has sighted a video of the Portuguese handing over the 800 euros (over GHC5,500) gift to the 18-year-old.

Afena-Gyan came off the bench with 15 minutes left on the clock to score the 2 goals that earned Roma all three points.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Ghanaian teen sensation, Felix Afena-Gyan was the hero of the day after coming off the bench to score two late goals as AS Roma beat Genoa in the serie A on Sunday.

The 18-year-old needed only seven minutes to break the deadlock after connecting to a Henrik Mikhytaryan pass.

He then netted a belter in injury time as the Romans picked all three points. In photos posted on Twitter, the teenager is seen celebrating with his teammates after a heroic display.
