Former Ghana coach Charles Akonnor has named five players who can help the Black Stars to perform well at the 2022 World Cup.
Speaking to GHOne TV, the former Ghana midfielder expressed delight with the inclusion of Inaki Williams and Tariq Lamptey.
According to Akonnor, with these two along with Mohammed Kudus, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, and others, Ghana has a good chance of excelling in Qatar.
“I think that with the likes of Iñaki Williams, Mohammed Kudus, Tariq Lamptey, Jordan, and Andre Ayew, Ghana stands a better chance of performing well,"
Akonnor was Black Stars coach for a year and nine months, and he claims that during that time he tried to get Williams and Lamptey to commit to Ghana.
Williams was born in Spain and played for the national team before switching to Ghana, while Lamptey quit England U21 to play for Ghana.
“When I was in charge of the Black Stars, we were still trying to “land” Tariq Lamptey, Iñaki Williams so I’m happy now that eventually, they agreed to play for Ghana," he added.
The Black Stars is returning to the global showpiece after missing out in Russia 2018, Where France emerged as winners.
Ghana has been housed in Group H at the mundial against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
The Black Stars will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
