Ghanaian midfielder Elisha Owusu is the best passer of the ball in Belgium

Published on: 19 March 2020

French born Ghanaian midfielder Elisha Owusu has emerged the best passer of the ball in Belgium, after 29 regular season games. 

According to statistics from the Jupiler Pro League, the KAA Gent midfielder has a passing accuracy of 91.4 % and makes at least 50 passes per game.

In a survey conducted on midfielders in the Belgian league, a list of players who have played more than fifteen games and made over 30 passes per match were selected for analysis.

Owusu beat the best midfielders in the European country including compatriot Samuel Asamoah, who placed fifth in the list.

The 22-year old joined KAA Gent from French giants Olympique Lyonnais for a little over a million Euros.

However, the defensive midfielder's value has increased six folds with many clubs chasing his signature ahead of the summer transfer window.

It is yet to be seen if Gent can keep their most prised asset at the end of the season.

Ghana coach C.K Akonnor visited the player during his European tour and watched him play against Anderlecht in the league.

Football in Belgium, like many European countries have been suspended due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
