Despite known interest from Ghana, Anderlecht winger Francis Amuzu has insisted on playing for Belgium and hopes to represent the European country at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Amuzu, who was born in Accra to Ghanaian parents, said in a recent interview that the Ghana Football Association is trying to persuade him to join the Black Stars, but he is only interested in playing for Belgium.
“They [GFA] call my broker [agent] every day, but I keep it [the decision] off,” Amuzu told Het Nieuwsblad.
“Look, I was born in Ghana and when I'm there, I feel at home there because of the African atmosphere. My sporty heart lies with Belgium. With Belgium you can go very far at such a World Cup, with Ghana there is a real chance that you will be out quickly.”
A transfer abroad might increase his chances of playing for the Red Devils. “I have a career plan and we'll see. I had hoped that I would already have more playing minutes at Anderlecht, but then I also have to show myself.”
Amuzu has nine goals and three assists in 37 appearances this season for Anderlecht.
