Ghana coach Otto Addo heaps praise on Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams

Published on: 27 September 2022

Ghana head coach Otto Addo has lauded Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams following his impressive display on his debut against Brazil last Friday.

The 28-year-old won his Black Stars first cap when he climbed off the bench in the 3-0 friendly defeat to the five-time world champions in France.

Born in Bilbao to Ghanaian parents, Williams chose to represent Ghana after previously playing for Spain at youth level and in a 2016 friendly at senior level.

"He has been very, very good, he integrated very well, and he gets along with a lot of players. From what I see, also in the game he adapted very well," coach Addo said at his pre-match press conference.

"I saw a lot of things which I want to see and I am happy for him to be here and we are very, very happy to have him in our team."

Ghana will take on Nicaragua today in their final September friendly as preparations for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 continues.

The Black Stars will be looking to bounce back to winning ways against the North American country after they were thrashed by Brazil in Le Harve and with only two games to play before the finals.

The match will take place at Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco in Lorca at 18:00 GMT.
