Hearts of Oak's new signing Junior Kaaba has revealed that former Black Stars striker Junior Agogo influenced his style of play.
Junior Kaaba, 23, is yet to officially sign for Hearts of Oak from Fauvre Azur Elite FC in the current transfer window.
He's reported to have passed his medicals and will sign a two year contract with the Accra-based side.
He scored Eleven goals and provided five assists for Fauvre Azur in the Cameronian Elite league.
Kaaba admits that he's a lot to learn and revealed that Junior Agogo inspired him.
“Let’s take an example: the running in behind the center-back when the No 10 has the ball. Agogo was the best in Africa, especially during the AFCON 2008. I watched a lot of his videos," he revealed to Phobianews.
“That’s how I am, I’ve always been watching a lot of football. I still do. When we play on Saturday or Sunday, I go home and on Monday, I watch football all day. I’ve always liked football a lot.
”I have watched a lot of Ghanaian players, especially strikers. I really admire Manuel Junior Agogo of blessed memory. When I saw him play especially at AFCON 2008, I was very impressed with his power and his pace. He really influenced my style of play," he added.
The late Junior Agogo featured for the Black Stars and had stints with EPL returnees Nottingham forest and Zamalek among other clubs.
