Black Stars versatile midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah secured his fifth straight Scudetti after Juventus were crowned 2016/17 Italian Serie A league champions to add to their third consecutive Coppa Italia titles they won some few weeks ago.

The 28-year-old lost his place in the team to Brazilian left full back Alex Sandro but he managed to rack up 17 appearances in all competitions and failed to register a goal.

JOHN BOYE (Sivasspor, Turkey)

The 30-year-old defender played an integral part in helping Sivasspor win promotion to the Turkish top division by scoring three goals in twenty-five appearances.

Sivasspor won the league with 62 points after winning 17 games, 11 draws and 6 losses.

Boye played the entire season without being red carded.

SAMUEL TETTEH (Red Bull Salzaburg, Austria)

The nimble footed wing-wizard won his first title with Red Bull Salzburg despite not featuring in the second half of the league due to injury.

Tetteh, 20, was recalled back from his loan spell at the club's feeder side FC Liefering in the European winter transfer window after bagging in 10 goals in 20 games in the Bundesliga II.

Nevertheless, he failed to rack up any appearance for the side due to injury.

SAMUEL LARYEA MENSAH (Ostersunds FK, Sweden)

After a not too impressive spell with Orebro, whom he joined in 2014, Mensah, who is popularly known in the Swedish league as Mensiro rejoined Ostersunds for a second stint and helped the side win the Swedish Cup by thumping Norkorping 4-1, a game in which he opened the scoring.

FRANK ACHEAMPONG (Anderlecht, Belgium)

Anderlecht clinched the Belgian PRO League title in the just concluded season with Frank Acheampong playing a major part in their success story.

It has been reported that English Premier League club Bournemouth and Watford are jostling for his signature.

EMMANUEL ADJEI SOWAH (Anderlecht, Belgium)

The former Dreams FC defender played 6 games for the league giants in their run-ins to the title but failed to register his name on the score sheet.

He made 16 appearances for the side but with no goal to his credit.

EBENEZER OFORI (VfL Stuttgart, Germany)

RAHIM AYEW (FC EUROPA, Gibraltar)

Rahim Ayew helped FC Europa win the league to end Lincoln Red Imps' 14-year stranglehold on the Gibraltar league title.

Ayew played 24 matches and scored two goals with seven assists.

By winning the league, FC Europa have qualified for their first UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds.

RAPHAEL DWAMENA (FC Zurich, Switzerland)

After being relegated from the Swiss top-flight league last season, FC Zurich needed an efficient goal monger to carry them back to the top division. And the name that rung in the mind of coach Uli Forte was 21-year-old Ghanaian poacher Raphael Dwamena.

The highly skillful striker didn’t disappoint as he plundered in 9 goals from 14 games to accomplish the target set to him when he joined the side from Austrian outfit Lustenau in January.

KENNEDY BOATENG (LASK Linz, Austria)

The former Ghana youth international had a season to cherish in his maiden European stint after helping LASK Linz win the Austrian Ersteliga title.

GIDEON MENSAH (Red Bull Salzburg/ FC Liefering, Austria)
