Rising talent Brandon Thomas-Asante of West Bromwich Albion has clinched a coveted spot in the Black Stars’ provisional squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The versatile forward, proudly embracing his Ghanaian and Jamaican heritage, has notably impressed Black Stars coach Chris Hughton. From his debut with Milton Keynes Dons in 2016 to his recent exploits with West Brom, Thomas-Asante’s journey has been extraordinary.
Securing a three-year deal with West Bromwich Albion in August 2022 for a reported fee of £300,000, the 24-year-old swiftly made his mark. A dramatic 98th-minute equalizer against Burnley during his debut set the tone for a stellar season.
In the current English Championship campaign, Brandon Thomas-Asante has amassed 20 appearances, contributing six goals and two assists. His dynamic performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him a call-up to the Black Stars’ provisional squad.
Ghana, placed in Group B alongside football powerhouse Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde, anticipates Thomas-Asante’s impact as they aim for glory in the upcoming AFCON.
