Jonathan Mensah could play in the La Liga next season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah will play in the Spanish top-flight next season if he stays with Granada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His compatriot and team-mate Ransford Osei will also receive a similar boost after their club qualified to play in the La Liga on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Granada qualified for the top flight of Spanish football for the first time since 1976 after sealing promotion on away goals after a 1-1 draw in Elche.<\/p>\n

After a goalless first leg, the Spanish second division play-off final second leg saw Nigerian striker Odion Jude Ighalo give Granada the lead after 28 minutes; the striker rounding the goalkeeper before slotting home.<\/p>\n

Having played in the fourth tier of Spanish football just six years ago, Granada\u2019s spirit saw them through and they join Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano in the top-flight next season.<\/p>\n

But there is real worry for the prospect of the two Ghanaians at the club as both of them did not feature in the game.<\/p>\n

Mensah absence\u2019s in the team\u2019s starting line-up in recent matches is a real worry for his future as the fine defender could lose out on his place in the Black Stars if he continues to warm the bench.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
