Antwi who plays for Ismaily club in an interview with Joy fm stated how happy he is and what he is aiming to achieve as they league bounces back.
“I’m happy the league is coming back because we have been here for over a year without playing a single league game so it is good news for us here in Egypt,”

“As a striker my job is to score goals and my target is to try and win the goal king here.”
