Sarfo with his tremendous performance in the ongoing Ghana Premier League (GPL) had his name written six (6) times on the scorers sheet for his outfits more than any other centre-back in the league this season,which booked him his first senior national team call-up at the Black Stars international friendlies against the ‘El Tricolor’ of Mexico in Texas and the ‘Men’s National Team’ of USA in Connecticut July this year.
The center-back in an interview with Metro Sports said “the WAFU Cup brought about the booming of businesses,most especially to the hockers, so if not for anything will affect the nation’s economy positively” he disclosed.
