The head coach of the Ghana senior national team, C.K Akonnor has explained that striker John Antwi deserves his Black Stars call-up because of his consistency.
The forward after years of neglect has finally been invited and returns to the national team ahead of the upcoming international friendly game against Mali next month.
Speaking to the media team of the Ghana FA, coach C.K Akonnor says John Antwi has worked to deserve his call-up,
“John Antwi, Odartey and I unearthed him at Eleven Wise and since then, he has done well for himself. The last time we had the call-Ups, he was not part of the team because I was not personally too convinced he should be a part of the team at that time.
“I am looking at consistency with the team and now I think he has proven beyond doubt he is good, scored over 100 goals, now I think 102. He deserves a chance because he has done well. The Egyptian league is not an easy league that you can just ignore. He has done well and deserves a chance. All these new guys have the chance, we want people who can help us improve and also win the AFCON”, Coach C.K Akonnor said as quoted on the website of the GFA.
JohnAntwi is part of the attackers invited for the upcoming friendly game alongside Jordan Ayew.
