Hiplife artist Kofi Kinaata has tipped Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder Leonard Tawiah to be the next big thing in Ghana football.

Leonard Tawiah has been one of the star performers in the Ghana Premier League and for Accra Hearts of Oak this season.

The “Awurade Begye Steer nu” coroner hailed the player who he claims has the qualities to be one of the best midfielders the country can ever have.

"I'm not surprised by Tawiah's display for Hearts because I know him during our time in Takoradi, he was that good especially in retrieving ball possession,” he told Happy FM’s Sintim Koree Chaskele.

“Those days, his body was frail but never misses a tackle. I remember his days at Juventus and Ajax in Takoradi, he always gave a hundred percent performance in matches," he added.

Kofi Kinaata also known as Martin King Arthur, spoke of how he grew up following the football career of the Leonard Tawiah.

A very confident Kofi Kinaata also predicts the midfielder will end up playing for English Premier League giants Manchester United in future.

"He's somebody I'm tipping to make it big in football. I foresee him at the echelon of football, trust me he'll outshine all the midfielders in the Ghana league because he is very good at what he does. I say this with conviction and not because he's someone I know. He will end up playing for either Manchester United or somewhere Juventus in Italy," he added.

Leonard Tawiah endured a difficult last term at the club but looks to have shaken off the disappointments and he is having an incredible season this year.
