Black Stars head coach, CK Akonnor, says he is working hard to transform the national team by getting many foreign-born Ghanaian footballers to play for the country.

Akonnor has already confirmed the GFA is in talks with Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah to get him to play for Ghana.

And the Black Stars gaffer in an interview with Accra Based Starr Fm, says he is in constant communication with many others like Nketiah.

“The most important thing is those who were born in Europe,” Akonnor said.

“Some of them are eager to play for the Black Stars.

“That is what we want to do. Look at Nigeria, I think they have done that in a very nice way.

“They have brought a lot of guys who were born in Europe and the Nigerian team is now transformed so we are trying to do the same with the national team.” he concluded.

CK Akonnor is yet to take charge of his first assignment as head coach after the 2021 AFCON qualifiers were postponed due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
