New Ghana striker Inaki Williams has revealed the role played by the Ghana Football Association president, Kurt Okraku in his decision to switch nationality to play for Ghana.
According to him, the Ghana FA Capo pushed harder and gave him reasons to switch nationality from Spain to represent the Black Stars at senior level.
He also acknowledged the role his family, especially his Dad and Mom played helping him take a decision to don the Black Stars jersey.
Speaking to the Spanish press ahead of the start of the new La Liga season, Inaki Williams says beyond his family’s role, Kurt Okraku was instrumental in the process to get him to switch nationality.
“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for many months and I’ve had the help of my family.
“The president of the Ghanaian federation [Kurt Okraku] is the one who pushed hardest for me to be there,” Inaki Williams said as quoted by marca.
Inaki Williams added, “Trains only run once and I got on this one, which has more good than bad.
“The decision has been mature and consensual with my family.”
He is expected to make his Ghana debut in September when the Africa country engages in an international friendly game against Switzerland.
