"We need the best players to do well at the World Cup"- Chris Hughton on new Black Stars players

Published on: 08 September 2022

Technical advisor of the Black Stars, Chris Hughton, has endorsed the inclusion of new players in the Ghana squad ahead of the friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua later this month. 

Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Stephan Ambrosius and Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer have all been named in the team for the international friendlies.

The quartet switched nationalities to represent Ghana and Chris Hughton believes they will add quality to the Black Stars ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.

“The nation wants us to have the best squad. They want us to have the best opportunity to do well in the world cup and to do well in the world cup, we need the best squad,” the former Brighton and Newcastle United manager told TV3.

“Anybody that has now shown an allegiance to represent the Black Stars, it’s not just about tomorrow, it’s about next year, the year after, and the year after going into the future. Anybody that is committing is not just committing to the world cup, they are committing to the future.”
