Douglas Owusu Ansah has no doubts over his ability to see off fierce competition and earn a place in Kotoko’s star-studded starting XI.

The youngster, who graduated from the youth team in 2017, tells Kotoko Express that, he will pick lessons from his colleague midfielders while he fights for recognition and playing time.

With the likes of Justice Blay and Alexis Didi Arnold joining the club to add up to Habib Mohammed and Prince Acquah, there is uncertainty over the playing opportunities Douglas Owusu Ansah stands to get, but the youngster says he is unperturbed.

“My presence in the team is not under threat because of the midfielders we have in the team,” maintains the young midfielder. “They all have their qualities and I learn from them all the time. But I also have mine. I believe in myself and what I can do when given the chance. It is going to be a long season and everybody, including myself, will get his chance.”
