KAMALDEEN JAY JAY

Ghana international, Kamaldeen Sulemana, has included Nigerian legend Jay-Jay Okocha in his five-a-side team of African players to have ever played in the English Premier League.

Speaking to Showmax in an interview, the Southampton winger reiterated his admiration for the former Super Eagles superstar, stressing that he is one of his two favourite players of all time, alongside Brazilian great Ronaldinho.

Besides Jay-Jay Okocha, Kamaldeen Sulemana named Ivorian duo Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba in his five-a-side team of African stars in the EPL.

The only Ghanaian player the Black Stars forward included in the team is former Chelsea powerhouse Michael Essien.

The other player in the five-a-side team is Egypt and Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah.

“I’m not choosing a goalkeeper because we are playing small poles, tiki-taka format, okay? Here they are: Yaya Toure, Michael Essien, Jay-Jay Okocha, Mohamed Salah, and Didier Drogba

“Mohammed Salah will play on the right, Jay-Jay Okocha will play on the left, and then two players to hold in the middle with Didier Drogba up front. What a team with flair, right!” Kamaldeen Sulemana said.
