The Ghana Football Association could to secure Athletic Bilbao young attacker Iñaki Williams Dannis who is of Ghanaian descent. 

Inaki, 20, was to a Liberian mother and a Ghanaian father in Spain but has yet to play for either Liberia or Spain - where he was born and holds a Spanish passport.

The young attacker is fast becoming popular popular in the Spanish second-tier league and has recently been promoted to the Athletic senior team squad where he has made three late appearances in La Liga games.

At the Segunda B where Inaki plays regularly, he has managed to notch home 13 goals from 18 games and news about his prolific scoring form is drawing attention from Spain and Liberia.

Ghana is known for acquiring European-born players of Ghanaian descent who show quality and interest in representing the West African country.

German-born Kevin-Prince Boateng and Netherlands-born Quincy Owusu-Abeyie have all played for Ghana in the past.

But they have also failed to convince players including Mario Balotelli, Danny Welbeck and Jerome Boateng to play for them as these players have gone ahead to represent Italy, England and Germany respectively.

The GFA is currently working on the nationality switch of Feyenoord star Elvis Manu who has shown interest in playing for Ghana at senior level despite representing the Dutch at various youth levels.

    str_repeat('*',strlen('Fuck')) off when Avram Grant invited Kwesi Appiah did he uses him in AFCON? Kwesi Appiah can easily play for England if the coach fail to introduce him to play for AFCON level.Remmeber Gerad Asamoah who was called to represent Ghana but he never get chance to play and was on the bench.Later he opted for Germany and he was damn good at that time. GFA is wasting players times. It is better they do not play for Ghana. Where is Quincy Owusu Abbeyie? Where is Kevin Boateng? ask yourself these questions before put a shit here for people to read out. Tell Avram Grant to use Kwesi Appiah then we will know that Foreign borns Ghanaians can play for the national team. Wasting good players time str_repeat('*',strlen('fuck')) off.
