Speaking on the secret behind his hot form, the Ghanaian said playing so well at the AFCON boosted his confidence.
“When I went to the African Cup things just changed for me,” the forward told Crystal Palace TV.
“Scoring goals there and going back home to my country and seeing the reaction of my family was important.
“This is because I had a really difficult season with Palace. That motivated me to come back stronger and show that I deserve to play in the Premier League and for Palace.”
