Ghana coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor is set to name his first 23-man squad next week for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan in March.

The 45-year-old has been touring Europe to check up on Ghanaian players as he prepares to name his squad for the AFCON qualifier.

Coach Akonnor visited a host of Ghanaian players playing in the Spanish La Liga, English Premier League, Eredivie in Holland, German Bundesliga and many others.

The former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak gaffer is expected to arrive in the country on Friday after an extensive Europe tour.

Ghana have been placed in group B alongside São Tomé and Príncipe, South Africa and The Sudan for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Black Stars are currently top of the table with six points after beating South Africa and São Tomé and Príncipe in the opening two games.
