My target is to reach Bernardo Silva’s level – Forson Amankwah
Ghanaian midfielder Forson Amankwah says he models his game after Manchester City and Portugal star Bernardo Silva.
Amankwah, who currently plies his trade for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria in an interview with Flashscore Ghana named Silva as the player he watches most and has set sights on reaching his level in the game.
"The player I watch the most is Bernardo Silva because I like him so much. Anytime I watch him play, it looks like they’re going to take the ball away from him because he’s small but they never get the ball. He never loses the ball, so it makes him special. My target is to reach his level," he said.
The West Africa Football Academy graduate has progressed rapidly in Austria, earning more game time for Salzburg in the ongoing campaign.
At the midway point of the season, Amankwah has started 65% of the league games, played 57% of available minutes, and contributed to 12% of Salzburg’s goals. Additionally, he made his Champions League debut this season.
The 20-year-old was included in Ghana's provisional squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations but was left out of the final list heading to Ivory Coast for the tournament.
