Ghanaian midfielder Baba Alhassan claims Ivory Coast and Manchester City legend Yaya Toure is his role model, and he strives to emulate him.
“For me, I like Yaya Toure, he is my role model, now when you come to my team my teammates call me Yaya Toure,” Alhassan told Sportsworldghana.com.
“Yaya Toure was a top-notch midfielder during his playing days and I followed him so much and that is why I model my game after him.” He added.
The 22-year-old joined Hermannstadt on a three-year contract in October 2020 and has been a key contributor to manager Marius Măldărăşanu’s side with some impressive performances.
Baba previously played under Marius Măldărăşanu at Real Valladolid.
He scored seven goals in 27 games to help Hermannstadt secure promotion to the Romanian top-flight.
