Tributes have been pouring in for ex-Ghana international, Junior Manuel Agogo, who passed away in a London hospital earlier today.

The former Nottingham Forest and Zamalek striker had been battling stroke since 2015 until his demise on Thursday morning.

He scored 12 goals for Ghana in 27 appearances after he made his debut in 2006.

Former teammate and General captain of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, took to twitter to post two images of himself and Agogo and said he was “gutted” by the news.
