\"GhanaKwesi Appiah<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kwesi Appiah says he has \u201cunfinished business\u201d with Ghana and remains \u201cvery hopeful\u201d that he will be in the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in June.<\/p>\n

The AFC Wimbledon forward, one of the key players for the Black Stars when they reached the final of the 2015 tournament, was recalled by Ghana in March for the first time in four years for the qualifier against Kenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me going back to Afcon would be a massive honour,\u201d Appiah told the BBC World Service\u2019s Sportsworld programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve given everything, every time I\u2019ve been in that shirt, the coach knows that the players know my value in the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hopeful I will get that call because I have unfinished business and we as a nation have unfinished business. Hopefully, the experience from the previous tournament I went to can be taken into consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to be involved in the recent squad and show what I can do ahead of the final selection for Egypt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a good chat with the manager, we\u2019ve got a good relationship, we\u2019re pretty open and honest about things and hopefully that call comes and we can get back together again and create some magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appiah, 28, believes the 2019 Ghana squad \u2013 coached by his namesake Kwesi Appiah \u2013 is potentially more talented than the group of players that reached the 2015 Nations Cup final in Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group has been built over a longer period of time. Back in 2015, the manager Avram Grant was brand new so he had to select players over a short period of time without having a long period to bed them all in together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time around, the experience as a group is a lot more tight because they\u2019ve been through training camps, been through qualification, been through friendlies and this manager is building this squad around this tournament to really at our best for this tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThomas Partey is world class. You can see his quality, you can see why he\u2019s a wanted man. The guy is a sensational talent. And the team as a whole should be in a much better place.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since 2015, every international break or tournament that\u2019s gone by, all that\u2019s been in my mind is we need to get that trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big, big deal and getting so close on my first attempt makes me realise how important it is to win that trophy. Hopefully this year we can take the trophy home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana will play in Group F of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt alongside Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
