Ghana have began the process to secure FC Porto starlet Agbenyenu Lumor for Ghana U20 FIFA World Cup campaign in New Zealand.
Ghana Football Association Communicators Director Ibrahim Sannie has confirmed the Association is working around the clock to secure the gifted wing-half for Ghana's tournament.
Lumor, dubbed Messi, can play in either defensive role as a full-back and attacking as winger.
While the GFA is working to secure Lumor from Porto, they are also keeping tabs on Cagliari defender Godfred Donsah, 18, who has been a revelation in the Italian Serie A.
"New players who fall under the age 20 will be called to the Black Satellites team. Players like Godfred Donsah(Cagliari), Agbenyenu Lumor (FC Porto) who where refused by their clubs will surely make it to New Zealand to seal up certain deficiencies in the team," Sannie told Football Made in Ghana.
Ghana had only one foreign-based player at the 2015 African Youth Championship, where they placed third, beating Mali in the bronze medal game.
