Udinese’s young Ghanaian forward Kwadwo Asamoah (pictured) is the new kid on the block in the FTBL World Top 23 for U21 players.

The 20-year-old also ranks 1st in the FTBL rating of Ghanaian forwards with 99.12 points over all. With such a rating, it will not be long before Asamoah begins to seriously rival older, more established African strikers: for example, Chelsea’s Salomon Kalou has just 113.57 points over all.

In the meantime, Asamoah is in 6th position in the FTBL Top 23 of the world’s top U21 forwards, ahead of Valencia young talent Juan Mata.
