“I haven’t been invited to the National team before but I will work hard to make the squad to Gabon.

“Everything is possible, I know most Ghanaians have seen me play before. All I need to do now is to work very hard and make the team.”

Coach Avram Grant is expected to name a provisional squad for the tournament in the coming weeks.
