The Black Stars’ head coach, Chris Hughton, has expressed his admiration for the caliber of players competing in the regional leagues.

After watching a number of Ghana Premier League games in the last few months, the gaffer says he is determined to continue monitoring players to select the ones that can play for the Black Stars.

“It is my role to access and find out those who can have the opportunity. That opportunity might come because it’s a starting opportunity or maybe that opportunity will come because somebody who is starting is not available,” the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager said in an interview with Asempa FM.

He continued, “I will continue to pay attention to the league here and yes there are quality players here. This is for sure.”

The game is scheduled to be played on June 18.
