On-loan Trabzonspor striker Caleb Ekuban has earned a maiden Ghana call-up for the final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya in Accra, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report.
The Italian-born has been impressive in the Turkish Super Lig since moving from Leeds United.
Ekuban, 24, has scored six goals in all competitions and made 14 appearances in the league.
