Inaki Williams not good enough for Black Stars – Charles Taylor

Published on: 15 February 2023

Former Ghana international Charles Taylor has casted doubt about the capabilities of Inaki Williams.

The Spain-born Ghanaian switched nationality to play for the four-time African champions in June 2022 and made the Black Stars squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

The Athletic Bilbao star featured in all three games for the West African powerhouse but failed to find the back of the net.

In an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM, the former Hearts of Oak and Kotoko star asserted Spain could have convinced Inaki and his younger brother, Nico Williams to play for them if he was good enough.

“We always want to rely on foreign based Ghanaian players, but the question is how many of these foreign-based players are starters in their respective clubs?

We just like cheap things, and rejected goods seem to be our priority. It really pains me that some journalists were saying all our problems were solved after securing players like Inaki Williams”

“I only smile and also see such journalist as people whose understanding of football knowledge is suspect”

“How can our Black Stars be saved because we have Inaki Williams? Do we have better eyes than the Europeans? His gameplay cannot guarantee us any proper title.

If the Spanish thought he was good enough, they would have convinced him and his brother to play for them and not Ghana”

The 28-year-old is yet to score a goal for the national team since making his debut against Brazil.
