The former Accra Hearts of Oak coach praised Kwesi Appiah for inviting the two and indicated the Atinga was a revelation in the WAFU Cup.
“I must also commend him for recognizing the quality that the Wafu tournament produced.
“Vincent Atingah in my estimation was a revelation at the competition and so was Twum.
“Their inclusion is also based on the challenges the team faces as far as the composition of our line players are concerned.
“Based on that these two gentlemen have been added and it’s a step in the right direction,” he told Citi Sports.
The pair who play for Accra Hearts of Oak and Inter Allies will be the only home based players in the squad.
