If Ivory Coast stand any chance of getting through the 'Group of Death', it will all come down to their prolific number 11.

An amazing record of 43 goals in 67 caps comfortably makes Drogba Ivory Coast's all-time leading marksman, scoring in every competition he had taken part in.

'The Drog' captained the Elephants to their first World Cup finals in 2006 and is expected to give everything in his last appearance for his nation this summer.

Boasting a glamorous record of individual and club honors, Drogba has one last chance to add something to his relatively less-impressive international career.

The 32-year-old was named African Footballer of the Year for the second time last year, following a fine campaign with Chelsea.

But this season has been more inspiring for the Chelsea hitman, who won his third Premier League title at Stamford Bridge, finishing top scorer with 29 goals despite missing some games during the African Cup of Nations

Wesley Sneijder is a Holland stalwart who made his senior international debut in 2003 against Portugal and showed a great deal of consistency ever since.

The 25-year-old gradually worked his way up to the top.

Sneijder, who comes from a football family, pursued his dream at Ajax's youth academy. He also kicked off his professional career at the Dutch club when he was only 17.

The midfield architect won league titles with Ajax and Spanish giants Real Madrid before moving to Inter Milan where he won an unprecedented treble last season; a feat that gave him a morale boost ahead of the 2010 World Cup.

"Frankly, I'm really not tired, it gives me new energy," the former Real Madrid man told The Guardian. "It is a huge incentive to take three titles with me to the Oranje, and I am hungry for more."

Gyan is among very few experienced players who will lead the Black Stars in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The Stade Rennes man, who also played for Udinese and Modena, made his international debut for Ghana in 2003 at the age of 18.

Despite his young age, 24, his teammates will be looking to him to spearhead the Ghanaian attack in an effort to reach the second round of the finals again.

Gyan has a knack for scoring in tough situations, most notably Ghana's first ever World Cup finals goal against in the 2-0 win over Czech Republic in 2006. He also scored 3 goals in Ghana's march to the 2010 CAF Nations Cup final.

Perhaps his only problem is his recurrent injuries and short temper, but he makes up for them with his power and pace on the pitch.

Nicklas Bendtner is one of the youngest, yet most influential individuals in Denmark's squad. He played a key role in leading his side to South Africa's finals and big things are expected from him during the competition.

The 22-year-old, a product of Arsenal's youth system, scored three goals during the qualifying stage, two of which were against Portugal who were fiercely competing with Denmark.

Bendtner kicked off his international career in style in August 2008 when he was just 20. He scored on his Denmark debut against Poland in a friendly match before netting his second against Portugal the next game.

On club level, Bendtner is still establishing himself at Arsenal but has been quite promising last season. The towering striker was once mauled by the British press for a relatively lengthy goal drought but he hit a hat-trick against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League to shut all his critics up.

Renowned tabloid The Sun even published an apology to Bendtner for its scathing attack on him.

Alexis Sanchez is possibly the next big thing for Chilean football, having been a senior international at only 17.

Since joining Udinese two seasons ago, El Nino Maravilla has been regarded as one of the hottest prospects, with reported interest from the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool.

Sanchez is a natural winger who can play as an advanced forward as well, banking on his outstanding dribbling skills and blistering pace.

The skillful number 7 has developed significantly under the guidance of Argentine tactician Marcelo Bielsa, who described him as 'a player with great ability to dribble'.

He scored three goals for La Rojas in the qualifying campaign, forming a lethal frontline along with playmaker Matias Fernandez and top scorer Humberto Suazo.

Sanchez's domestic season has not been satisfying though as Udinese struggled to finish 15th of the Italian Serie A table, with the 21-year-old scoring five times to help the Zebrette avoid relegation.

Guardado made his first appearance for Mexico in extra time against at the 2006 World Cup at the age of 19.

From there on, the former Atlas player cemented his position in Mexico's line up and even started every single match in the 2010 qualifying campaign. The 23-year-old is one of many young players who hold the future of the North American nation.

"There are always lots of surprises in football and though no one probably gives us much chance of getting through to the next round or the quarter-finals, we are confident we can be the revelations of the World Cup," he told FIFA’s official site.

The diminutive left winger joined in 2007 and his impact was immediately felt as he was named the club's player of the season in 2008.

A lot will be expected from Guardado in this tournament and his teammates will be looking to bank on his many pinpoint crosses and sublime long range efforts to make the difference for "El Tri".

South Korea skipper Park Ji-Sung has to have a big impact on his side in order for them to reach the round of 16 and avoid another group stage disappointment.

Like in 2006, the South Koreans will be facing a stern challenge as they will compete with Greece, Nigeria and favorites Argentina.

Park is a tireless work horse in midfield; to the extent he has been nicknamed "Three-lunged Park". He is also excellent in front of goal and can create chances for his teammates

The Taeguek Warriors captain claimed in March that his pace and stamina are a result of the boiled frog juice his parents made him drink as a kid.

"They said it was good for my health to become stronger and I ate anything that would improve my health," he revealed.

Park is considered the go-to-guy for Sir Alex Ferguson since he joined Manchester United from PSV in 2005.

Switzerland expect a lot from the Bayer Leverkusen winger who will be appearing in his second consecutive World Cup this summer.

Despite a memorable goal against Togo in Germany 2006, Barnetta's very last World Cup memory has been anything but pleasant.

The talented midfielder, among three other Swiss players, missed from the spot in an embarrassing round of 16 shootout defeat to Ukraine.

His performances in Germany nonetheless earned him a place among the list of players nominated for the tournament's Best Young Player Award.

Barnetta is undoubtedly one of the brightest talents in his country, yet he is often criticized for being goal-shy; a fact vindicated by his less-than-impressive goalscoring record.

The 25-year-old, a key attacking force for his club and country, found the net four times in 32 Bundesliga games with Leverkusen last term.

Moreover, he featured in every single game for Ottmar Hitzfeld's side in the qualifying campaign, yet his overall contribution was zero goals en route to South Africa.

This man who played for the Samoan U-20 national team and was willing to go to court to play for the Republic of Ireland in 2002, wrote his name in Australia's history when he scored the nations first World Cup finals goal in Germany 2006.

Tiny Tim, as he is affectionately called by the Everton faithful, will shoulder Australia's hopes in their second successive finals appearance in South Africa.

Despite his average height, Cahill is very strong and good in the air. Combined with his excellent passing skills and swift runs, he makes for an excellent attacking midfielder.

Cahill, who began his professional career with Millwall, played his first international game in 2004 and went on to become a key figure in Pim Verbeek's squad.

The 30-year-old scored four crucial goals in Australia's qualifying campaign, and his teammates will be looking to him again to provide some match-deciding goals in South Africa.

''I'm expecting to be a marked man, it's just about me being a bit more cute,'' he said.

Theofanis Gekas might not be as famous as Rooney, Henry or Klose but he was certainly more prolific than all of them during the World Cup qualifying stage.

Gekas, who plied his trade at Hertha Berlin last season on loan, produced some impressive displays to help his country reach the World Cup and be named the top scorer in the European qualifiers with a 10-goal tally.

His cutting-edge indicated that he could well raise some eyebrows during the South Africa finals while playing against Group B contenders Argentina, South Korea and Nigeria.

Gekas kicked off his career with local club Larissa where he spent three years before moving to Kallithea.

In 2005, the 30-year-old signed for Panathinaikos before starting his Bundesliga adventure with Bochum a year later.

Gekas also played for Bayer Leverkusen, Portsmouth and Eintracht Frankfurt who still own his contract till now. He has been an international player since 2005.

No one can deny Gekas's scoring ability as he won top scorer awards in both Greece and Germany.

Jong's enthusiasm to wear the DPR Korea colors makes him a star in the eyes of the Chollima fans.

Born in Japan to South Korean parents, Jong decided to play for North Korea after attending a private university in Tokyo funded by the North Korean government.

The 26-year-old forward, who has been dubbed the 'People's Wayne Rooney' by Asian media, burst into the international scene in 2006 when he scored an incredible 8 goals in his first two matches against Mongolia and Macau.

Jong didn't enjoy a fruitful qualifying campaign, given his team's emphasis on defense; yet his role as a target man remains very crucial for the North Koreans.

The Kawasaki Frontale forward is very gutsy and bustling player with an excellent eye for goal. His biggest asset is that he is one of very few Asian players who can hold down the ball and exhaust his markers.

He is considered by many as the best shot-stopper in the world, thanks to an ever-consistent form with club and country during the past decade.

Buffon played a vital role helping Italy win the 2006 World Cup, bagging an impressive five clean sheets in seven games en route to the title.

He only conceded twice in Germany, courtesy of an own goal by teammate Christian Zaccardo and an exceptional penalty from the ever accurate Zinedine Zidane in the final against France.

Despite his position, Buffon is considered a talisman at Juventus, where he won the Italian Serie A title twice.

The 32-year-old was one of few players who refused to turn their back on the club during the infamous Calciopoli scandal, which saw the Old Lady dumped to the Serie B in 2006.

This season, however, has been an underachievement for the giant goalie who struggled with a nagging knee problem for long spells of the campaign, not to mention Juve's seventh-place finish in the Serie A.

Diego Forlan, Uruguay's most prominent player is keeping his feet on the ground ahead of what's likely to be his last World Cup appearance.

The 31-year-old striker is fully aware that Uruguay's days as a global powerhouse are long gone and his initial objective is to help the two-time world champions reach the round of 16.

"It will be great to qualify for the second round first. And if I can score some goals, it'll give me more reasons to celebrate," the Atletico Madrid man said.

Forlan has been prolific on both club and international levels. In 2002, he moved from Argentinean giants Independente to Manchester United, where he struggled for a starting position.

His fortunes changed when he moved to Spain, where he played for Villarreal and currently Atletico Madrid, whom he guided to the Europa League title this season.

The two-time La Liga top scorer and Europe's Golden Boot winner scored 7 times for his country in their qualifying campaign.

South Africa don't have bona fide strikers in their squad and therefore Steven Pienaar will take on a crucial role during the World Cup in supporting an average frontline.

The Bafana Bafana have only four strikers at their disposal in Surprise Moriri, Bernard Parker, Katlego Mphela and Siyabonga Nomvethe, after South Africa's all-time top goalscorer Benni McCarthy was omitted for being out of form.

Everton's attacking midfielder Pienaar will definitely have a tough job, and yet; he remains optimistic.

The 28-year-old is convinced that the hosts have drastically improved ahead of the World Cup and will be able to play with much more fluency during the competition.

"I rate our chances of doing well in the tournament very high. In fact I am very confident that we will go further than the second round," he said.

The former Ajax and Dortmund player is very versatile and can play both as an attacking midfielder and winger.

Statisticians will have a difficult job counting the passes completed by the Spain number 8 this summer.

A player who can turn things around with a single touch of his right boot, Xavi is undoubtedly the best passer of the ball on the planet.

Emerging through the youth ranks of Barcelona, he developed steadily to become one of the stalwarts of the Catalan club, reaching his peak under Pep Guardiola's management.

Xavi has been in astounding form over the past couple of years, guiding Barca to a sensational treble last term, one year after inspiring Spain's EURO 2008 triumph by claiming the Player of the Tournament Award.

If the midfield maestro can replicate the displays of EURO 2008, Spain will be serious contenders to lift their first World Cup trophy in South Africa.

Although he doesn’t score much, Xavi is an assist machine and will surely be the one to feed marksmen Villa and Torres, just like he did for Barca this season, creating 19 goals for Messi and Co.

He is the man who almost single handedly took New Zealand to their second ever World Cup finals this summer.

This is evidently demonstrated by an extraordinary goalscoring record of eight goals in five games; more than half of his nation's total in the qualifiers.

A lethal finisher, Smeltz has been the Australian A-League top scorer for the last two seasons with Wellington Phoenix and Gold Coast United respectively.

His Golden Boot award with Wellington in 2008-2009 made him the first ever Kiwi to clinch the gong in the 30-year history of the Australian national competition.

He has also been named Oceania Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008, starring under the guidance of current New Zealand boss Ricki Herbert at Wellington.

Currently on 13 international goals, he is strongly tipped to surpass Vaughan Coveny's 28-goal record as New Zealand's all-time leading goalscorer.

The 28-year-old has an impressive record of more than one goal in every other international game.

Eto'o will go down in history as one of Cameroon and Africa's best players. He is perhaps the most prolific African striker to have played in Europe.

The 29-year-old has just become the only player ever to have won the triple - the European champions league, domestic cup and domestic league - in consecutive seasons (with Barcelona and Inter Milan).

His exploits with Cameroon have been nothing short of impressive, winning the 2000 and 2002 CAF African Cup of Nations titles and 2002 Olympic Gold medal with the Indomitable Lions.

Despite that, Cameroon legend Roger Milla stated that Eto'o 'still hasn't brought anything to their national team', which evidently enraged the highly-decorated player who retaliated by threatening to quit the team.

Yet, despite his short-temper, his teammates consider him the heart and soul of the team.

"Samuel is not just important for the team, he is important for everyone," teammate Andre Bikey said.

The Cameroon captain scored 9 goals en route to the World Cup finals.

The World Cup is Franck Ribery's prefect chance to seek redemption after spending a terrible season with Bayern Munich, during which he suffered a succession of injuries and was involved in a vice case that blemished his reputation.

The pacey midfielder's lack of appearances took a toll on his fitness ahead of the World Cup while his reported involvement in an under-age call-girl scandal further marred his season.

However, the majority of France fans still think the world of Ribery, hoping that he will be the new Zinedine Zidane during the 2010 World Cup.

France are playing in the World Cup without Zizou for the first time in 12 years, which means that Ribery will be the one to shoulder all of France's expectations.

There is no denying Ribery's pedigree. The former Marseille and Galatasaray ace can play as a forward, winger or playmaker, allowing coach Domenech many options.

Philip Lahm will be facing the sternest test of his life when he travels to South Africa for this year's World Cup.

In addition to being one of the National Mannschaft's most prominent figures, he has been named Germany's captain following the omission of Michael Ballack who suffered an injury.

A product of the Bayern Munich youth system, Lahm first showed potential when he played on loan for Stuttgart from 2003 to 2005.

The Munich native returned home to prove himself, and so he did, contributing to three Bundesliga titles and Bayern's fine run to the UEFA Champions League final this season.

Lahm is every coach's dream wing-back. He is strong, disciplined, fast, an exemplary shooter and sends pinpoint crosses, not to mention he can play on both wings.

The 26-year-old, who will become the youngest man to captain Germany at the World Cup, has played every single minute of the 2010 qualifying campaign.

A world-class footballer with something to prove in South Africa; Kaka's form will be crucial to Brazil's ambitions this summer.

When he is in good shape, the midfield maestro is capable of becoming a virtuoso performer for any team, tormenting the opposition's defense with his dazzling skill and pace.

But this season has been hardly the best for Kaka, following a mega €67million move from AC Milan to Real Madrid last summer.

The 2007 FIFA Player of the Year struggled to replicate his Milan form in his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu; a campaign marred by a series of long-term injuries and less-than outstanding performances.

However, the underachievement at club level hasn’t taken its toll on Kaka's status as the Selecao's key figure.

The 28-year-old won the FIFA Confederations Cup Golden Ball last summer after inspiring Brazil's triumph in South Africa.

He also didn’t disappoint in Brazil's qualifying campaign, netting five goals for Dunga's side en route to the South Africa finals.

Four years ago in Germany, Ronaldo was one of the prospects in Portugal's World Cup roster, but this summer he will be leading the the Seleccao das Quinas in South Africa.

The 25-year-old heads to South Africa as the most expensive footballer on the planet, not to mention being Portugal captain ahead of the likes of Simao, Deco and Ricardo Carvalho.

An astonishing stat escalating the pressure says that Ronaldo scored zero goals for his nation in the qualifying campaign.

However, the self-assured Real Madrid superstar sarcastically responded to his critics by saying: "I am saving my goals for the World Cup."

Another aspect that makes Ronaldo a primary source of goals for Portugal is manager Carlos Queiroz's insistence to play him as a center forward, rather than in his usual wide role.

Despite Real's disappointing campaign, Ronaldo's debut season at the Bernabeu has been quite impressive with 33 goals in all competitions.

If the step-over wizard turns on the style this summer, Portugal will surely go far in the finals.

The heart and soul of the Algerian team. Ziani is a midfield architect who's creative abilities have helped keep the Algerian team afloat through out the qualifiers.

Ziani began his professional career with Troyes in 2000, but his real breakthrough came in 2006 when he joined Sochaux, only to attract interest from top Ligue 1 clubs.

He then moved to Marseille where he played for two seasons, before taking his trade to Germany with then champions Wolfsburg at the start of the 2009-2010 season, where he endured a mediocre season.

Ziani, who was born and raised in France, received his first call up for Algeria in 2003. He featured for the Desert Foxes over 50 times, scoring four goals.

The 27-year-old's creativity, agility and sternness will come in handy for Algeria as they face physical teams like USA and England.

Dempsey will have his work cut out for him at the World Cup finals in South Africa and the Fulham man knows it.

"I'm the guy people now look at to step up in these big games. Hopefully I can do that," Dempsey said in The Sun.

"I like pressure and I like the responsibility to do that. My goals tally has gone up in three consecutive seasons in the Premier League so I'll take that confidence with me into this competition."

had the good sense to pay an MLS record transfer fee for the NEW England Revolution for in 2007. Three years later, the 27-year-old has evolved into an all-around player. Fulham had the good sense to pay an MLS record transfer fee for the NEW England Revolution for in 2007. Three years later, the 27-year-old has evolved into an all-around player.

had the good sense to pay an MLS record transfer fee for the NEW England Revolution for in 2007. Three years later, the 27-year-old has evolved into an all-around player. Dempsey is physical, fast, good in the air and an excellent dribbler who excels most on the wings or as a supporting striker.

had the good sense to pay an MLS record transfer fee for the NEW England Revolution for in 2007. Three years later, the 27-year-old has evolved into an all-around player. Dempsey played a major role in guiding Fulham to this season's Europa League final. He scored 4 goals for the US in the qualifiers, in addition to three goals at the 2009 Confederations Cup.

All eyes are on Lionel Messi as his countless fans are dying to see him replicate compatriot Diego Maradona's one-man show in the 1986 World Cup.

Maradona, Argentina's current coach and arguably the greatest footballer ever, produced some inspirational and dazzling displays 24 years ago to gift his country the precious title.

Messi, whose incredible playing style, skills and massive popularity are strikingly similar to the legendary Argentine, was praised by his coach.

"Messi is better than me at World Cup '86. He's the best player in the world and better by far compared to others," Maradona said in May.

The Barcelona ace is just impossible to mark, unless you are Javier Zanetti. His pace, dazzling dribbling skills and remarkable scoring ability are just astonishing

The 22-year-old forward has won both the 2009 FIFA World Player and Ballon D'Or in addition to finishing as top scorer in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League and adding another La Liga title to his honors.

Undoubtedly the key man for the Slovakians and arguably the best player the nation has produced since gaining independence from Czechoslovakia in 1993.

Hamsik is a classic attacking midfielder with all the qualities needed to dictate play for his team in the final third.

The midfield marvel has been a regular for Slovakia since making his debut in 2007 at the age of 19. He played a vital role guiding the central European minnows to their first ever World Cup finals this summer.

His consistency at such a young age makes him one of the hottest prospects of European football, and a move to a bigger club is expected sooner or later.

The 22-year-old has been a classy performer for Napoli since making a €5.5million move from Brescia three seasons ago.

He reached double figures this term, netting 12 goals to help the Naples club reach the UEFA Europa League after finishing sixth in the Serie A.

Slovenia are making their World Cup finals debut in South Africa this summer thanks in part to some outstanding performances from Novakovic.

The lanky striker scored five goals en route to the 2010 finals and has managed to stand out, quite literally, in a team that prides itself for playing as a group.

Novakovic, is kind of a late boomer as he mostly plied has trade in second tier teams in Europe. Nevertheless, he made an impact wherever he went.

He joined Koln in 2006 and helped them return to the top flight. His high work ethic and impressive goal tally earned him the captain's armband and a starting spot along side Lukas Podolski.

The 31-year-old is a master of aerial challenges and extremely fast for a man who is 1.92 meters.

Novakovic's ball control and physical presence in the opponents' box will definitely prove very useful for Slovenia who will be facing strong defenses like those of England, USA and Algeria.

With his versatility, curling free kicks and cheeky back-heel passes, Shunsuke Nakamura was one of the most important players in Japan's squad during the qualifying stage. He wasn't lucky though.

The 31-year-old's participation in the pre-tournament warm-up games was negligible after he sustained an injury to his left ankle, which cast doubts over his role with the Blue Samurai during the World Cup.

"I'm not thinking about whether I'll make the first team or whether I'll play all matches," Nakamura said. "I'll do whatever I can do for Japan to win."

The Yokohama Marinos star, who also played for Reggina, Celtic and Espanyol, is a natural right winger but can also be deployed almost anywhere in midfield.

Nakamura has been struggling with fitness problems ever since returning to his boyhood club Marinos in 2010, before his ankle problem further deteriorated his condition.

The veteran midfielder made his World Cup debut in 2006. He featured for Japan in their three group stage matches but his impact was far from impressive.

Vidic is a sensational player who marshaled Serbia's defense during the World Cup qualifiers, during which the White Eagles conceded only five goals in ten matches.

The 28-year-old began his club career at home with Red Star Belgrade in 2000. He made a name for himself with Russian outfit Spartak Moscow, where he attracted interest from Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

Vidic was nothing short of impressive ever since arriving at Old Trafford in 2006, forming an impressive duo with Rio Ferdinand in the center of defense. This partnership contributed to several titles for United.

Standing 1.88 meters tall, Vidic is a rock at the heart of defense for both club and country. His physical presence, no-nonsense attitude, and aerial superiority on both sides of the pitch make him an asset for the World's top teams.

His charisma and leadership skills have earned him the respect of his teammates, earning him the position of vice-captain in the Serbian team.

Manchester City's Roque Santa Cruz is usually seen as Paraguay's most high-profile player, but over the past couple of years another name has emerged.

Nelson Valdez has deservedly taken over as the star of the team en route to the South Africa finals, amid Santa Cruz's continuous injury problems.

Featuring in 17 qualifiers out of 18, the pacey forward played a key role helping the Paraguayans reach the World Cup for the fourth time on the trot.

A defining moment in Paraguay's qualifying campaign was Valdez's match-winning goal against Argentina last September; a victory that sent the Albirroja to South Africa ahead of their mighty South American rivals.

Despite his status with the national team, the 26-year-old hasn’t been that consistent at club level with Borussia Dortmund this term, playing week-in, week-out for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Valdez's aerial ability is outstanding considering his unremarkable height. He is also a fine dribbler whose creativity in the final third will be key to Gerrardo Martino's side this summer.

Despite the myriad of talent within the Three Lions, Rooney remains the star on which the England fans are betting on to carry the team to World Cup victory.

He started his professional career with Everton in 2002 and moved to Old Trafford two years later to win every club award there is with the Red Devils, with the exception of the FA Cup.

The burly forward has enjoyed a spectacular season with Manchester United, scoring 34 goals in all competitions, but has struggled to find the back of the net for England since November 2009.

Yet, England coach Fabio Capello knows the ex-Everton player's qualities: "Rooney … gets everyone behind him, leads them and pulls them into action."

The 24-yearold striker, who has 25 goals for England since making his debut in 2003, is strong, versatile, and fast and has a keen eye for goal. Perhaps his only flaw is his short temper.

He is the seam of iron at the heart of Honduras midfield, with his incredible work-rate and fearless tackling approach.

Although his goalscoring record is anything but good, Palacios is the type of midfielder who is considered indispensable for any team.

And with outsiders Honduras not expected to play an open game in South Africa, the 26-year-old will have a lot of work to do for his nation.

Palacios is one of four brothers who play professional football. Their fifth was 16-year-old Edwin who was brutally murdered by kidnappers in Honduras last year.

The tragedy rocked the Palacios family, but the Tottenham midfielder opted to focus on his career in order to get through the ordeal.

He holds a record as the first Honduran to play in the English Premier League, following a loan move to Birmingham in 2007-2008.

During his Wigan days, Palacios was named by fans as the best signing in the history of the club, even though he spent no more than one season at the JJB.

Even though he failed to live up to expectations during the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola, Yakubu Aiyegbeni remains the most likely among the Nigerian players to be a revelation in the World Cup.

The Everton man is the first-choice striker in the Super Eagles' squad. He wasn't quite prolific in the Nations Cup while his team were far from impressive, although they seized bronze after beating Algeria 1-0 in the third-place match.

"He is the man to watch in our team because I believe in his ability to spring a surprise," Nigerian club Sunshine Stars' manager Alhaji Rasheed Balogun said.

The burly striker has Premiership experience that will definitely come in handy when his team faces teams like Argentina and Greece.
