Misr Lel Makassa  and Ghana striker John Antwi has attributed his success in Egypt’s top flight to focus and perseverance.

Antwi made history when he scored a hat-trick against ENPPI, to become the highest foreign goal scorer in Egyptian football with 63 goals.

“I will thank God first of all for bringing me this far because it has not been easy.

“I have really worked hard since I arrived here to achieve.

“Most players come here and find it hard to adapt but I told myself that I need to focus and work really hard to get something for myself.

“It has taken determination and focus.”he told Citi Sport in an interview.

The 26 year old is in his third season with Misr Lel Makassa  but is yet to make his full competitive debut with the Black Stars.
