Illiasu Shilla

Illiasu Shilla Alhassan is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a defender. The tough tackling defender then moved to Asante Kotoko and won a place in Ghana’s squad for the 2006 World Cup, despite having never played for the national team, and was only one of just four domestic-based players. Shilla replaced Issah Ahmed at Kotoko in January 2006, and his performances in recent months were enough to convince coach Ratomir Dujkovic to take him to Germany.
