Ghana striker Emmanuel Banahene is still optimistic of receiving a call-up to the National team.

The striker has not been invited to the Black Stars team since 2012.

Banahene was last invited for a Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea in Tamale under Coach Kwesi Appiah having initially missed out on an opportunity in a friendly match against Turkey due to injury.

The former Ghana U17 attacker is not given up on a possible return to the Black Stars team.

“Yes, I was once invited by Coach Kwesi Appiah but unfortunately for me I picked up an injury so I couldn’t play, but I later got an invitation for a game against Guinea in Tamale,” he told Ghanasportsonline.com in an interview.

“I was really eager to prove a point but God knows best. But receiving a call-up once again will be based on my performance, I know if I keep working hard I will surely get an invite from Coach Appiah.”

The player recently ended his contract with Turkish lower division side ?anl?urfaspor.
