Ghana legend Abedi Pele has earmarked fast-rising Nania FC defender Henderson Mayonu for greatness.
Mayonu was an instrumental figure for the Legon-based outfit during the truncated 2017/18 Division One League.
The 18-year-old won raves of praises from Abedi Pele after translating his impressive Nania FC form to the Ghana's U20 team when they defeated Benin 3-1 in the first leg of the Africa Youth Championship qualifier at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium in August.
