Hearts of Oak’s Mohammed Alhassan has crowned himself the ‘best defender in Ghana’ after guiding the Phobians to finish top of Zone B in the NC Special Competition. 

Alhassan has been impeccable for the Accra-based giants since joining from WAFA SC.

The combative center back is one of three local based players selected by Kwesi Appiah in his 29-man provisional squad for the AFCON next month.

“I respect every player (defender) in this country, but currently I am the best defender looking at my qualities and the caliber of player I am,” he told Kickgh.com.

“I give out my best when I am on the field. I am in a top form. I’ll choose myself as the best defender amongst my colleagues.

“But there are good defenders in our football. Each and everyone has their quality.”
