The 2015 Africa Youth Championship MVP is looking forward to joining the list of Ghanaians who have achieved success at the Under-20 World Cup.

After winning the Best Player award at the just-concluded African U-20 Championship in Senegal, Ghanaian midfielder Yaw Yeboah says he wants to build on that achievement at the upcoming U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

Ghana defeated Mali 3-1 in the third place match played in Dakar on Sunday to claim bronze and have also qualified for the U-20 World Cup set for May / June.

“I want to emulate the likes of Dominic Adiyiah and Ebenezer Assifuah who achieved success at the U20 World Cup,” Yeboah told Footballmadeinghana.com.

“The African Youth Championship was a good platform for me and all the players. I want to go far in my career. I still have to work harder because I’m yet to realise my dreams,” he said.

The 18-year-old joined Manchester City reserve side in January from Right to Dream Football Academy in Ghana.

Ghana are drawn in Group B of the U-20 World Cup alongside Argentina, Austria and Panama.
