Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is on a wild hunt for foreign-born players to represent the African giants at the international level as he seeks for build a crack team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nManchester United kid Timothy Fosu-Mensah, German Under-21 star Gideon Jung and Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao among eight to ten players who have been penciled down for a potential nationality switch.<\/p>\n
Appiah, a former Khartoum Watani trainer, says he is\u00a0exploring the best options to make his strong squad.<\/p>\n
“If there are players born outside or who grew up outside and they can add to the quality of the team then you must make the effort,” Appiah told KweseESPN.<\/p>\n
“There are about eight to ten players that I have given to the GFA to make enquiries about how we can get them on our side.<\/p>\n
“If they are good enough, we want them to play for Ghana. That has to be my priority as Ghana coach.”<\/p>\n
It’s unclear which names have been penciled down for a nationality switch in favour of the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
But it has been speculated that Italy youth defender Claud Adjapong, Austria youth midfielder\u00a0Kevin Danso and Netherlands under-21 defender Derrick Luckassen amongst others could be targeted by the Ghana FA.<\/p>\n
The likes of Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Adam Kwarasey, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Emmanuel Frimpong are among players to have switched nationality in recent memory.<\/p>\n
