“It is very exciting and it motivates me playing well at the Wafu tournament.

“But the ultimate now is my participation in the tournament for Ghana. I need to stay focused and concentrate because that is the most important thing for me now.

“After this, I can now join my teammates for my first-ever season in Europe,” he added.

Although, Ghana were defeated 2-0 by Nigeria in the last group game, they have qualified to the semifinals and await their next opponents from Group B.

Lomotey was adjudged as Dreams FC's best Player of the just ended season as they earned qualification back to the Ghana Premier League after winning zone 3.
