'I'm number one but I won't complain if I'm dropped' - Benjamin Asare

Black Stars goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare has insisted he will not allow his current status as Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper affect team unity, admitting he would fully support any teammate selected ahead of him.

Speaking from Ghana’s training camp in Wales ahead of the international friendly against Wales, the goalkeeper stressed that competition within the squad remains healthy and that no player should feel guaranteed of a place.

Benjamin Asare has emerged as Ghana’s current number one following a series of impressive performances, but the shot-stopper said he still has a lot to prove.

“I want to achieve bigger things for myself but that doesn’t mean because I’m number one I’ve already achieved it,” he said.
