Accra Hearts of Oak SC goalkeeper Richard Attah is in good position to start in goal for the Black Stars in their crucial Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers this month.
After sitting out throughout the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon two months ago, the goalkeeper could be used in goal later this month against rivals, Nigeria.
He has kept five Cleansheets in eight Ghana Premier League matches this season in goal for the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League and MTN FA CUP winners.
In Hearts game against Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC in the outstanding Ghana Premier League week 7 clash at the Accra Sports Stadium a little over two weeks ago.
The former Elmina Sharks FC shot stopper has been very consistent in the past one year on the domestic scene and could be the new first choice goalkeeper for Ghana’s Black Stars.
Last Friday, Attah was in goal for the Phobians when they beat arch rivals Asante Kotoko SC to lift the 2022 President’s Cup with a 2-1 win.
Despite not getting the opportunity to keep the post during the AFCON, his recent performances gives him the nod over the remaining goalkeepers.
With his massive improvement in all areas of the game, the Hearts goalie could be the savior for Ghana in this month’s playoffs against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
