Martin Koopman, the head coach of Hearts of Oak, believes that young striker Hamza Issah has the qualities of Brazilian legend Romario.
The teenager scored as the Phobians defeated Medeama SC 3-1 on Wednesday at the Accra Sports Stadium in their matchday eight games.
After the game, the Dutch coach praised the qualities of the Auroras' product on Star Times.
"It was a pity that Hamza Issah was sick at half-time, and so he had a little problem with his stomach and got to the toilet," Koopman told reporters.
"When I asked where Hamza was, he went to the toilet, so I had to change him."
"But you see the qualities of Hamza, he has something from Romario, low to the ground, turns very fast, I like him very much," he went on to say.
Hearts of Oak moved into 13th place with 9 points after 7 games after a dominant performance at the Hohoe Stadium against Premier League returnees, Heart of Lions.
Karela United will host Martin Koopman and his charges in the matchday nine games at the Aliu Mahama Stadium this weekend.
