Inusah insists he deserves award

Hearts of Oak centre-back, Inusah Musah, insists he deserves to be crowned the best defender at the Ghana Premier League Awards Night last Friday.

The decision to give the award to the towering defender has sparked massive controversy in local soccer circles.

Inusah beat off competition from Kotoko captain, Amos Friimpong, as well as Dreams FC's Abdul Bashiru.

Inusah could only manage 13 league appearances with five Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards, while Frimpong featured 28 times for the Porcupine Warriors, winning four MVPs and scoring eight goals.

But despite the huge controversy, he insists he deserves to win the diadem.

“I am really happy; I worked hard for it. I think I deserve it, although my competitors also played well.

 “I think I deserve it and the organisers saw my performance so I’m really happy," he said.-Ghanasoccernet.com
