Emmanuel Baffour is set to make it to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final
Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has defended his decision to hand striker Emmanuel Baffour his first senior national team call-up.
The New Edubiase player, who has scored 11 goals in 11 Premier League games, was the only outfield local player to make the provisional 25-man squad for the tournament.
Baffour was a member of the Ghana Under-23 team who got eliminated from the 2012 London Olympics qualifiers.
Pundits say his scoring exploit could be a flash in the pan.
But the Serbian trainer says the 21-year-old fits the bill.
“Baffour is playing good and scoring goals and that is why I decided to call him,” Stevanovic said.
