Columbus Crew defender Harrison Afful is looking sharp and itching to go ahead of the new MLS season.

Afful enjoyed maximum success in his first season with Columbus Crew winning the league title in his Eastern Conference.

The Ghanaian turned down lucrative offers from unnamed Turkish teams to return to the United States after enjoying his stay with the Crew.

Columbus Crew have never hidden their intention to hold on to their most prized asset and have offered to tie Harrison down to a long term contract.

The Ghanaian has looked sharp and worked hard in preseason and is seen as an influential figure in the dressing room despite just spending six months at the club.

Afful was recently seen dancing in one of the team’s preseason videos.
