AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has honoured his promise by buying a pair of boots to Ghanaian prodigy Felix Afena-Gyan after scoring a brace against Genoa.
The former Chelsea boss had promised the 18-year-old that he will deliver him with a pair of €800 shoes if he opens his AS Roma account.
The youngster took up the challenge in good faith.
The Giallorossi were struggling to create anything meaningful at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on a rainy night, until 18-year-old Felix Ohene Afena-Gyan came off the bench and made all the difference and the headlines as Roma escaped with a 2-0 win.

“I had promised to buy Felix the boots he really likes, which are really expensive, they cost €800, so he ran over and told me not to forget! Tomorrow morning, the first thing I do is buy him the boots,” Mourinho told DAZN after the game.
Now, the former Chelsea boss has delivered on his word, and Felix Afena-Gyan has thanked his gaffer for delivering on his promises.
I'm extremely delighted. Grateful to Mister #JoseMourinho @ASRomaEN 💛❤ pic.twitter.com/SPuRpZlpjo
