Atletico Madrid ace Thomas Teye Partey has been adjudged Ghana Footballer of the Year for the second straight time.
The midfielder beat off competition from Ghana and Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan and Ghana senior women’s team and U17 striker Mukarama Abdulai to pick the coveted gong at the Ghana Football Awards held in Accra on Sunday.
It was the 26-year-old’s second award of the night having earlier fended off competition from new Celta Vigo and former Genk centre-back Joseph Aidoo and Inter Milan’s Kwadwo Asamoah to claim the Foreign-based Player of the Year honour moments earlier.
