His outstanding displays has seen being tipped as one of the young players to watch in the Swedish topflight league this season.

Adjei's physicality and strength as well as his ability to read the games to perfection makes him a delight to watch.

Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko is keen on inviting the 20-year-old in June for the Africa U23 Cup of Nations qualifiers, as Ghana eye a return to the Olympic Games.

Adjei has made six appearances this season, five in the Swedish Cup and one in the league.
