GFA Boss Kurt Okraku hints on Mohammed Salisu’s decision to play for Black Stars

Ghana Football Association [GFA] president, Kurt Okraku has hinted at Mohammed Salisu’s decision on playing for the Black Stars.

The Southampton center-back has grabbed the headlines for turning down a chance to feature for the country.

The former Real Valladolid defender turned down chances during CK Akonnor and Milovan Rajevac’s reign as head coaches.

Ahead of Ghana’s 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria in March, the centre back turned down a chance when Otto Addo and his technical team handed him a call-up, citing he needs more time.

He has subsequently left out of the Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers against Madagascar and the Central African Republic [CAR].

However, a post by Kurt Okraku on his official Facebook page indicated that Salisu is ready to feature for the country.

“Great seeing you with that big smile,” Okraku wrote.

“Proud son of the land who is proud to give back what football has given him…Ready to serve and looking forward to our common future with all the positive energy in you.

“God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong,” he added.
