Mensah, a product of Fetteh Feyenoord has enjoyed a flourishing first-half of the season in the Portuguese top-flight despite his tender age.

Guimarães' form in the league is on the shoulders of the Ghanaian youngster who has bagged four goals and is a joint top-scorer along with Portuguese André André and Jonathan Alves.

Mensah has been great for Vitoria
He started 13 of Guimarães' 14 league games for the season.

His performance is already courting interest around Europe with Spanish La Liga outfit Valencia having their 2 million Euro offer for him thrown away by Guimarães.
