I grew up watching Gyan, Wakaso, Andre Ayew but idolised Ramos – Alidu Seidu

Alidu Seidu attributes his fast rise in professional football to the influences of both his national heroes and his personal idol, Sergio Ramos.

Growing up in Ghana, the Rennes defender was inspired by the likes of Asamoah Gyan, Mubarak Wakaso, and André Ayew, who were key players for the Black Stars. "My motivation when I was young was more from the national team.

I wanted to one day represent Ghana like Andre Ayew, Asamoah Gyan, and Mubarak Wakaso.
