Ex-AS Roma forward Umar Sadiq is highly confident Black Stars striker Felix Afena-Gyan will succeed at the club after a breakthrough this season.
Afena-Gyan was handed his maiden Black Stars call-up ahead of the final 2022 World Cup play-offs against Nigeria, having scored a brace against Cagliari in the Serie A which dominated the international media.
The 19-year-old started in both legs as the Black Stars sealed qualification to Qatar on away goals following a 1-1 aggregate scoreline.
"He (Felix Afena-Gyan) is doing well and I am sure he will give a lot to Roma. You should just keep humble and keep learning," Sadiq told TribalFootball.com.
Felix Afena-Gyan has featured in 25 games across all competition for AS Roma and has scored two goals so far this season.
Born in Sunyani, Ghana, Afena-Gyan moved to Serie A side Roma's youth team on March 13 2021, from EurAfrica FC.
The highly-rated forward was first called up to the senior team on 24 October, in Roma's Serie A game against Napoli.
He made his professional debut against Cagliari. On 21 November 2021, he came off the bench to score two late goals against Genoa, to give Roma a 2–0 win.
The brace made him the first player born in 2003 to score in the Serie A.
