Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has lauded goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, declaring him the best in Ghana. Reflecting on their time together at Accra Great Olympics, Badu expressed no surprise at Asare’s stellar performances for both club and country.
During the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season, Asare showcased exceptional skill between the posts. Despite Accra Great Olympics’ relegation, he led the league with 16 clean sheets in 34 matches, underscoring his resilience and talent.
Asare’s consistent excellence earned him the Ghana Premier League Golden Glove award for the 2023/24 season. His ability to maintain composure under pressure and deliver crucial saves did not go unnoticed.
Following Great Olympics’ relegation, Asare transferred to Accra Hearts of Oak, signing a two-year contract ahead of the 2024/25 season. He quickly became a pivotal figure for the team, notably securing victory in the 2024 Homowo Cup by saving and scoring in the decisive penalty shootout against Heart of Lions.
Asare’s remarkable form has sparked discussions about his potential inclusion in the Black Stars. Coach Isaac Opeele Boateng praised him, stating it had been over a decade since he felt a local goalkeeper was ready to start for the national team.
Benjamin Asare’s journey from club challenges to national recognition exemplifies dedication and skill. With endorsements from figures like Emmanuel Agyemang Badu and Coach Boateng, Asare’s future in Ghanaian football appears to be more promising.
