So apart from Ghana I\u2019ll choose Senegal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year old also revealed countries like Morocco and Ivory Coast could offer some challenge but maintains Senegal as favourites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMorocco is also one country that can cause an upset. Cote D\u2019Ivoire have very big names in Europe but they have struggled to make it,\u201d he told Footballmadeinghana.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a team, I choose Senegal because we all saw them in 2017. They were fantastic and made it to the World Cup but were not able to make it to the next round.
