'I feel privileged' - Lawrence Ati-Zigi reacts to news of statue in St. Gallen.

Black Stars goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi expressed his gratitude regarding reports that Swiss club St. Gallen might erect a statue in his honor, but he emphasizes that his main priority is to remain dedicated to his craft. The Ghanaian international has garnered a strong following at the Swiss side after playing an instrumental role in their recent achievements, including securing the Swiss Cup and earning a spot in the UEFA Europa League. In an interview with Sporty FM, Ati-Zigi addressed the rumors with modesty. "I've heard the discussions about St. Gallen potentially creating a statue for me at their stadium. It's a great honor, and I will continue to put in the hard work," he remarked. The 29-year-old has had a remarkable year on both club and international stages. He was pivotal in helping St. Gallen claim the Swiss Cup and delivered remarkable performances for Ghana during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Although an injury hindered his participation after the initial match against Panama, Ati-Zigi made a comeback for Ghana's Round of 32 match against Colombia, showcasing an exceptional display despite the Black Stars' 1-0 loss. With his contract set to expire in June 2027, Ati-Zigi is committed to aiding St. Gallen's efforts in both domestic and European competitions as the club gears up for its UEFA Europa League qualifying journey.
