The lanky forward, who now plies his trade with Ghana Premier League club, Heart of Lions, spoke to Pan-Africa Football. “What I can say is, Al Hilal is one of the best clubs I joined and that was my first experience in playing for one of the best team’s in Africa.
“And you know Al Hilal is one of the best team’s in Africa and every year they qualify for the CAF Champions League. I pray that one day they win it because that’s what they want and they are very demanding. They demand a lot from players.
“If they lose a game especially to [rivals] Al Merriekh, sometimes heads role. “They cut off some people out of them team especially the foreign players, I will say they are very demanding and well organized.
“They invest more money into the team so they are very demanding.”
