Speaking exclusively to GHOne Sports, he said they would not pursue players who have no desire to play for Ghana

“Whoever is eligible to play for Ghana will be given the opportunity. I don’t think we need to beg players to play or represent the country at the international level.” He said.

He also said the GFA has given many players born abroad the opportunity to represent the country and thus only those who are willing will be given the opportunity.

“We have given many players the chance and it dates back to Kim Grant, to Tony Baffoe and to Otto Addo who were not all born in Ghana. So whoever is willing will be given the opportunity.” He added.
