Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association, has remained optimistic about Nico Williams despite the player’s commitment to Spain.
Williams made two appearances against Switzerland and Portugal after receiving his first call-up to the senior Spain team ahead of this month’s UEFA Nations League matches.
The 20-year-old was on Ghana’s radar after his older brother Inaki Williams decided to play for Ghana earlier this year, but he choose Spain when the chance presented itself last month and might be included in the squad for the World Cup in Qatar.
Inaki played for Spain before joining Ghana, and Okraku is hopeful that something similar will happen with Nico.
“He’s been summoned to Spain, and I wish him the best, but he will return home (to Ghana)”, Okraku said in an interview with Marca.
“I know he is coming home. Iñaki also played for Spain. We’ll continue talking; he’s one of us.”
Nico is still eligible for Ghana until he makes more than three appearances for Spain.
