Their impact in European leagues are very high and they play in big clubs as well.  So apart from Ghana I\u2019ll choose Senegal\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 24 year-old also tipped Morocco as the other serious challenger;<\/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<\/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.
