Gerald Asamoah has waded into the argument of courting foreign-born players into the Black Stars.
With less than two months left to start the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Ghanaians have been left divided over the potential inclusion of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah to the Black Stars for the tournament.
Although both players and some in the diaspora are yet to show interest in playing for Ghana, it is reported that the FA has engaged a couple of them.
In recent times, Derrick Kohn and Patric Pffeifer switched nationalities to play for the Black Stars.
And according to Asamoah, the process could become easier for the FA if they move to these players at a younger age.
“We are waiting to see Kevin Prince Boateng here, and we go for him or Hudson-Odoi, and they say no we don’t want to come because they didn’t see how Ghanaians fought for them when they were young,” Asamoah told 3 Sports.
“The British people did everything for them, and now they are done. They are now good players, and we want them. You need to start in the youth teams. You need to go there.
“You don’t need to go out. You have Internet. You have Wyscout. You can check all the players. You can check the Ghanaians. We need to do these things,” he said. “Don’t sit down and wait when they get to U21 level, and you go: Do you want to play for Ghana? It is too late.”
