Adam Larsen Kwarasay<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The World\u2019s football governing body Fifa has ratified the nationality switch of Norway-born goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey to play for Ghana, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kwarasey, whose father hails from Navrongo in the Upper East region of Ghana, declared his intentions to represent Ghana three years ago.<\/p>\n

Early this week, re-elected Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi promised to use his contacts in Fifa to fast-track the process.<\/p>\n

In October last year, he obtained a Ghanaian passport and that payed way for his switch.<\/p>\n

He is likely to take the place of ageing Black Stars gloves man Richard Kingson who has come under intense criticisms for his poor displays in recent matches.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old is in top form and has the height to claim the position as Ghana\u2019s safest pair of hands.<\/p>\n

But Kwarasey must fend off competition from locally-based goalkeepers Sammy Adjei and Ernest Sowah who are also being considered for the Black Stars goalkeeping job.<\/p>\n

The Str\u00f8msgodset first choice turned down invitations to play for Norway\u2019s under-21 side in 2008 with the hope of playing for Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
