Speaking on Oyerepa FM in Kumasi, the ace journalist insisted and revealed his reasons for rating the Brazilian import higher than the former Techiman XI Wonders talisman.
“Salifu is more combative. In terms of physicality he beats Gama but in terms of raw football intelligence, reading the game & passing, Gama is ahead”, Kwabena Yeboah stated.
The 28-year-old Brazilian has scored three goals and provided four assists in 18 matches for the Porcupine Warriors since his arrival at the club this season and has also been named as Man-Of-The-Match once.
