It is believed that, the Ghana FA led by its President Kurt Okraku are in talks with the family of Eddie Nketiah to denounce England and play for Ghana.
But Mr. Vincent Owusu has disclosed that, the parent especially the father don’t want his son to play for the West African country because of poor structures at the Ghana FA.

“We’ve had discussions on that but the parent especially the father don’t want the boy [Eddie Nketsiah] to play for Ghana. He believes structures in GFA are not working”, Owusu Appiah told Wontumi Radio in an interview.
He added that, Eddie Nketiah who just won the 2019/20 FA Cup trophy with Arsenal has not made any decision yet since he wants to settle very well at Arsenal before focusing on whether to play for Ghana or England.
“Eddie Nketiah’s main target is to settle in Arsenal, before he focuses on either playing for Black Stars or The Three Lions of England. Kurt Okraku has contacted the father of Eddie Nketiah but the father is not willing to let his son play for the Ghana Black Stars or even the Black Starlets of Ghana.”

But Mr. Vincent Owusu Appiah believes there is still a chance for Eddie Nketiah to play for Ghana but has called the GFA boss to travel to London and set up a meeting.
“The GFA President Kurt Okraku should travel to London and have a meeting with the family and the player himself before I think an agreement can be reached,” he added.
