The 33-year-old is already a brand ambassador for Polytank, Rexona and Raptor Gloves, and his growing commercial appeal reflects his rise on the pitch.

He also made history by becoming the first goalkeeper from the Ghana Premier League to start a FIFA World Cup match for the Black Stars.

With his recent performances, Asare will be hoping to retain his place between the posts when Carlos Queiroz's side face Croatia in their final Group L match on June 27.
