2021 AFCON: Ghana are not good enough to win 5th title - Ex-Arsenal midfielder

Published on: 30 December 2021

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong says Ghana not good enough to win their 5th Africa Cup of Nations title in Cameroon.

Black Stars have not lifted the coveted trophy since the 1982 tournament in Libya.

Coach Milovan Rajevac, who replaced CK Akonnor has been tasked to win the 33rd edition of the Afcon.

"No, I don't think we have a squad that is good enough but in football, you never know. Nobody backed Italy for the Euros but they won it, you never know," Frimpong told GOAL.

"I think they can qualify from the group but I am not sure they can dominate because of Morocco. They have chances of progressing alongside Morocco.

"I like Egypt because I’m a huge fan of Salah and Arsenal player Elneny, so if Ghana don’t win it, I hope Egypt do. Salah is the biggest player in Africa for me."

Ghana have been paired with Morocco, Gabon and Comoros at the 33rd AFCON tournament.
