Arsenal youngster Emmanuel Frimpong has revealed that he’s eager to represent Ghana at international level.

The 19-year-old has already played for England under-17, but he’s ready to switch allegiances if Ghana want him.

“I have always said that I will play for Ghana because I am a Ghanaian player. My whole family is from Ghana, but at the same time, I have been in England since I was young and I see England as my home,” said Frimpong to Citi Sports.

“But at the moment, if Ghana call me up I will gladly go and play. But there are people who also don’t want me to be called to play for Ghana, which is very disappointing.

“I guess I just have to wait for a call-up. But at the moment I am still playing for England so it’s a bit of a difficult situation.

“I have always told my family that if Ghana call me, I will personally ride my own bicycle from England to Ghana.”
