This nomination becomes the Ghanaian’s eight in the season and 17th week overall for his club as well the ninth consecutive week nomination for the club.
Confirming the nomination, the club twitted that “The game-winning goal scorer @Asante20Magic earns @USLChampionship Team of the Week Honorable mention for Week 23 of the season!”
Asante leads Phoenix in scoring this season with 16 goals in 20 games played and is expected to be in action for his side when they play host to Reno 1868 FC on Friday.
