If I am unhappy I simply find somewhere I will be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ghana international has hopes that, in Alaves, he\u2019s finally found a destination where he can settle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose them because they are a good team with good young players,\u201d he continued. \u201cAfter last season\u2019s run to the Copa del Rey finals, there is a lot of attention on them too which is good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wakaso\u2019s affection for Spanish football is also one of the reasons he has opted to stay in La Liga.<\/p>\n<p>He first joined Elche as a teenager from Ghanaian giants Ashanti Gold in 2008, and has gone on to play for four other Spanish sides, including Villarreal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know everything about Spanish football so it makes this kind of decision easy. I like the fact that there is a lot of space, that there are so many quality players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a calm league where the football moves more than the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wakaso concluded by explaining that he hopes a move to Alaves will see him return to the national side, having been overlooked by new boss Kwese Appiah after he replaced Avram Grant following the African Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely still want to play for the Black Stars but if I don\u2019t have a club and doing well, there will be no Black Stars for me. I need to focus on settling here first and do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
