Charles Akonnor revealed that Ghana Football Association (GFA) is working about bringing back some European-born players eligible to play for Ghana Black Stars team.

CK Akonnor is yet to make his debut as head coach of Ghana national football team. As a reminder, he was appointed in January 2020 following the sacking of Kwesi Appiah.

Despite having unveiled a list of players for March’s international window, Charles Akonnor could not gather Black Stars. As all competitions have been halted by coronavirus outbreak

“With regards to European-born players, it’s necessary for me to let you know the names [of the players we are working on],” Akonnor said at a press conference, per GhanaWeb.

“Those I spoke to want to play [for Ghana] but they are also not familiar with our lifestyle here. They don’t know what is going on, some probably just come here [briefly] and go back.

“They don’t know anything about us and I think it is important for us to encourage them to come here and see what is going on here. They are willing to come but they don’t know what it is [like here].”

“Talking of quality players, I think I made mention of six or five players which I believe are quality [players]. They’ll enhance the way we play, the way we go forward. These names are with the FA and the FA has already started working on it.

“We cannot get them now but once we get them, they’ll improve our team. Once we have quality, they will improve our chance of winning Afcon.

“Djiku and Owusu are currently eligible to play. Management is working hard to get them on board.”

“Hopefully we’ll be able to get them [seven players] on board.” he added.
