Ghana coach, Otto Addo says he is hoping new faces that has been added to the Black Stars will play beyond the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Six new players have completed their nationality switches to play for the Ghana national team as announced by the Ghana Football Association [GFA] last week.
Inaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey, Mohammed Salisu, Patric Pfeiffer, Stephan Ambrosius, and Ransford-Yeboah were the new names who can now play for the side.
“Since March we’ve been talking to a lot of players who we think can have an impact on the team,” Addo told the BBC.
“I can understand it can be a difficult decision, especially if you were born in another country and you’re young.
