\"Nana<\/a>Nana Kwesi Asare<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

KAA Gent coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck has hinted his vice-captain Nana Kwesi Asare could soon naturalize to play for Belgium.<\/p>\n

Vanhaezebrouck is excited about the prospect of his club producing a fourth player to play for the Red Devils after Sven Kums, Matz Sels and Laurent Depoitre.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Belgium coach Marc Wilmots is convinced about the qualities of the Kumasi-born player who has captained sides like KV Mechelen and FC Utrecht.<\/p>\n

Asare, 29, has not played competitive football for Ghana but was Ghana\u2019s bench during the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.<\/p>\n

The crafty left back was subsequently called up for friendly matches, but the departure of head coach Claude Le Roy meant he was overlooked by the Frenchman’s successors.<\/p>\n

He arrived in Belgium in 2005 and played four seasons for KV Mechelen before leaving for Dutch side FC Utrecht.<\/p>\n

“There has been no official contact,” Asare told Het Nieuwsblad. “But I’m certainly open to good ideas. It is certainly possible because I was just playing friendly matches for Ghana.”<\/p>\n

Asare has been a key performer for the Belgian champions both home and in Europe.<\/p>\n

The former WAFA (formerly Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord Academy) trainee is the most consistent Ghanaian player in this season\u2019s UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

He played in every single Group stage match as Gent qualified to the knockout round.<\/p>\n
