The Ghanaian, who was born in Spain, ended a four-month goal drought with a strong shot against Osasuna in the Copa del Rey semifinal.
He then scored against Espanyol and then added two goals today. This season, the Black Stars attacker has scored eight goals in La Liga.
On the same tangent, Abrefa Gyan, a relative of Ghanaian striker Felix Afena-Gyan recently stated that Kennedy Agyapong, a presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was instrumental in persuading Inaki Williams to renounce his allegiance in favour of Ghana.
Kennedy Agyapong’s close relationship with Inaki Williams’ mother, according to Abrefa Gyan, acted as a conduit for persuading the Athletic Bilbao forward to switch teams.
“I’m the chairman for Kennedy Agyapong so for the past five years, nobody has campaigned for Kennedy Agyapong more than me. I’m also close to the Inaki family. Inaki’s mother and parents are members of the group so I had to convince the mother to allow him to play for Ghana.
“I realize that the woman liked Kennedy Agyapong so if the FA went through him, Inaki would agree to play for Black Stars. Lo and behold when Kennedy Agyapong stepped in, it worked, he said on Pure FM.
