Norwegian sport wear giants The Anton Club use portrait of Ghanaian winger Ernest Asante on mammoth opening ceremony

Ghanaian international winger Ernest Asante's inspirational performance for Stabaek IF in Norway is earning him greatness in the Scandinavian country with sports wear shop - The Anton Club, making him their poster-boy. 

The Anton Club officially opened to the Norwegian public in country's cities on Thursday morning with a mammoth opening ceremony and the 26-year-old winger who was invited for the event along with his team-mates arrived to find his portraits framed on the walls of the outlet.

Asante, a former Manchester United triallist, has gained further inches in the Scandinavian country following his EA Sport FIFA 2016 simulation game confession on him as the second fastest footballer on the planet.

This becomes the second in the line after his club Stabaek IF asked EA Sport to use him for the cover for their covering entitlement in the game's space.

His trademark celebration style of going down on his knees and observing a brief prayer moment dominated pictures used for the portraits.

"I'm really happy about this because it somehow means my performance for my club in the league is being recognized and that makes me happy," he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

In the Norwegian Eliteserien, Asante has bagged 10 league goals and provided 12 assists for Stabaek - managed by former United States and Egypt head coach Bob Bradley, who are second on the league and are vying to win the league title.
