Mensah, who plays for French side Evian, says the team require fresh ideas and the winning mentality to end the country’s long wait for an African crown.

He believes Grant, who has coached a top notch team like Chelsea possesses the qualities to bring freshness into the team.

He said: “Black Stars have learnt many things from other coaches so we are expecting that he (Grant) introduces new ideas on the table.”

Ghana must fend off competition from Senegal, Algeria and South Africa to progress from group C.
