Ghana U20 goalie Annan passes test on Italy tour

Published on: 13 November 2011

Goalkeeper Felix Annan as etched his name as a future prospect after impressing with the Ghana Under-20 team which toured Italy.

The ex-Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord graduate was flamboyant as a second half substitute in the Black Satellites 3-0 defeat to Italy's Under-20 side last Wednesday and did not concede a goal.

Annan was handed a starting role in Saturday's painful 1-0 defeat to Serie A side Parma at the Stadio Tardini and scored full marks.

In the second half of the exhibition match, the Asante Kotoko second-choice goalkeeper pulled three great saves to deny Parma.

The 18-year-old past his first test in the off-season when he replaced Abdalai Soulama against rivals Hearts of Oak in Accra in the charity match.

Annan could be named the number choice for Ghana Under-20 coach Orlando Wellington ahead of the 2013 African Youth Championship qualifiers next year.
