World Cup 2022: Young Ghanaian forward Ransford Yeboah Konigsdorffer insists he deserved to be in Ghana’s final squad

Published on: 17 November 2022

Hamburger SV forward Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer has insisted he deserved a place in the final Ghana squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 21-year-old who has been in a rich vein of form in the Bundesliga 2 was tipped to make the final squad for the mundial.

But the enterprising forward unfortunately missed out following announcement on Monday in Accra.

According to the forward, he deserved to be in the final squad for the tournament considering his performance in the ongoing campaign.

"I was disappointed. I would have liked it. I think I deserved a nomination." Königsdörffer said as quoted by German tabloid Bild.

The Germany-born attacker who has previously presented at Germany at youth level switched his international allegiance to play for Ghana in June.

He debuted with the Black Stars as a late substitute in a 1-0 friendly win over Nicaragua on 27 September 2022 in Lorca, Spain.

The young attacker is currently on tour to California in USA with Hamburger where he scored the only goal when they beat Orange County.

Königsdörffer scored a header in the 41st minute of the match to give Hamburger a 1-0 victory in the end in front of 4000 spectators.
