“It’s been a very strong start to the season and I am happy with my contribution,” Alhassan told GHANAsoccernet.com

“I know it’s a very long season to go but I feel the support and love from the Coach so it’s really helping me to give my best.”

“I am really enjoying my football these days and that is very important to me.”
