“Thanks to Coach Kwasi Appiah for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be in his team but unfortunately this happened,” he told footballmadeinghana.com

“I hope to get well soon and strong to play under him again to achieve some glory.

“He made my dream cone true and I’ll never forget that. I really appreciate,” he noted.

Nuhu also wished the entire team the best of luck going into the tournament.

“May Allah guide and protect the entire team so that we can achieve our aim. All the very best if luck to the team,” he added.

Nuhu had a wonderful season with Swiss Super League side ST. Gallen where he featured 14 times and grabbed a goal.

He also featured for the Ghana U23 side that defeated Gabon to set a date with Algeria in the final qualifier for the U23 AFCON.
