Former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor has revealed that his older son, Charles-Jesaja Herrmann has expressed his desire to play for Ghana.
Having played for the German U-17 side, Akonnor speaking in an interview revealed that the SV Waldhof Mannheim centre forward has already confirmed his desire to follow the footpath of his father.
''The older one (Charles-Jesaja Herrmann) was also a national team player, who played in the under-17, and he is now playing for a third-division side. He is now willing to play for the Black Stars when he gets the chance,'' he told Graphic Sports.
The former Asante Kotoko head coach also said he had advised his son to work much harder if he wanted to be part of the Black Stars because his chances of getting a call-up to the national team were limited if he was playing in the lower-tier league.
“I told him to do more than he is doing now. For the national team, you don’t have to be in the third division; you have to be in the premier and make waves for yourself to be seen as a national team player; but for now, he is a little bit far from the national team.”
Charles-Jesaja Herrmann has also played for the German U-15, U-16, U-18 and U19 sides.
