According to SuperSport, he wrote his name into history as Africa’s top scorer at the global tournament, with six goals, across three tournaments.

His performances on the continental stage were equally noteworthy.

Baby Jet played a pivotal role in Ghana’s deep runs at the Africa Cup of Nations, helping the Black Stars finish as runners-up in both 2010 and 2015.

Though the ultimate continental glory eluded him, his leadership and knack for clutch moments solidified his status as one of Africa’s finest forwards of the modern era.
