AFC Wimbledon striker Kwesi Appiah is eyeing a call-up to the senior national team, the Black Stars ahead of the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations which kicks off in June.
The 28-year-old played an instrumental role for Ghana at the 2015 Afcon where he contributed one goal in Ghana's 3-0 win over Guinea in the quarterfinals.
His inclusion into the squad by former coach Avram Grant caused a stir amongst Ghanaians but he impressed hugely, propelling Ghana to the finals of the tournament where they lost on penalties to Ivory Coast.
The goal poacher has since failed to make it into coach Kwesi Appiah's team since his second coming in 2017, with the likes of Asamoah Gyan and Raphael Dwamena now leading the attack.
"I haven’t heard from the new coach (Kwesi Appiah) but I think I just have to keep playing well and score goals and see what happens after that," Appiah is quoted by Goal.
"I had a good time with the Black Stars and representing Ghana in the Afcon again will always hold high value in the list of my targets and goals to achieve in 2019. Playing at the tournament again is 100% a target of mine, " he added.
He adds: "Of course. I believe the players who have most recently played for the national team have great potentials as well as the consistent performances from the more experienced players from the previous squad.
"We contain the qualities as a team to lift the trophy in the upcoming tournament and I will be glad to be part of the historic moment if the coach will hand me a chance."
Appiah has bagged four goals in 22 games so far this season for Wimbledon as they continue their fight to avoid been relegated from English League One.
