Ghana squad
Ghana are completing a deal to play arch-rivals Nigeria in an international friendly in London in August, sources close to the deal have told Ghanasoccernet.com.
The Black Stars could play Turkey in London if the deal to face the Super Eagles falls through.
The contract for the epic clash between the Super Eagles and the Black Stars has been tabled before the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The match has been tentatively fixed for 9 August, a date set aside by Fifa for international friendly matches.
The match is likely to be played at the Queens Park Rangers’ Loftus Road stadium or Selhurst Park, the stadium for Crystal Palace.
Nigeria are desperate for another opportunity to avenge the 4-1 thrashing they suffered at the hands of the Black Stars in London in 2007.
The Super Eagles will be hoping to appease their fans in the UK through the game but with the Black Stars on a high an interesting match will be on display if the two sides agree to play.
Ghana will use the match to prepare for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Swaziland in September.
