Brandon Thomas-Asante opens up on representing Ghana

West Bromwich Albion forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has shared his experience of being with the Black Stars.

The England-born forward made his Ghana debut during the World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic in June.

Thomas-Asante replaced Mohammed Kudus late in the game as Ghana defeated CAR in a seven-goal thriller.

Although he was in the provisional squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, Thomas-Asante could not make the final list for Ivory Coast.

However, he moment when he joined the team in June as Ghana recorded back-to-back wins in the qualifiers.

“I’m feeling good and it was a really good summer. It was really exciting to go away with the national team for the very first time. It’s something I’ve wanted to do forever, to represent Ghana, since I was a child,” he told the club’s website.

“To be able to play with different players and get a different outlook on things was refreshing. I really enjoyed being with Ghana in the summer which was really good. I came back from international duty and had a breather, but then got back to work here pretty quickly. I couldn’t stay away for too long; I wanted to come back sooner than what my report date was.”
