Published on: 01 January 2024

Medeama SC striker, Jonathan Sowah has been named in Black Stars' final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The promising striker was named in Ghana's 55-man provisional squad for the tournament.

However, the 24-year-old forward has been in the final squad as announced by head coach of the team, Chris Hughton on Monday.

Sowah has been pivotal for Medeama since he arrived at the club, orchestrating attacking play, and his ability to sway critical moments will be keen for Hughton.

The highly-rated attacker made his debut for the Black Stars in September, where he impressed after delivering an assist for the third goal in a 3-1 victory over Liberia in an international friendly.

He made his competitive debut two months when Ghana lost narrowly to Comoros in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifications.

Sowah has 19 goals in 35 appearances for the Yellow and Mauves since making his debut last year. His goals were significant in Medeama's Ghana Premier League triumph.

He has 7 goals in 15 games in the current Ghana Premier League campaign, including three goals in the CAF Champions League.
