New Ghana striker, Inaki Williams has disclosed that a request from his grandfather was the final input that made him decide to play for the Black Stars.
A few months ago, the highly-rated striker disclosed that he has completed a nationality switch from Spain to be able to represent the Black Stars at the national team level.
Last month, he finally debuted for Ghana in friendly matches against Brazil and Nicaragua.
Speaking to Marca, the Athletic Bilbao forward has opened up on what convinced him to play for Ghana.
“They contacted me and my family. There were several meetings where they conveyed their idea to me. What they wanted and what they were looking for. They wanted me to contribute my grain of sand for the country. It was not easy to make the decision because at that moment the doors were open, who knows if at some point, to play with Spain.
“But everything changed when I went to Ghana and visited my grandparents. My 90-year-old grandfather told me that it would be a dream for him to see me for the Ghana national team. That cleared up any doubts,” Inaki Williams shared.
The in-form attacker is in line to be drafted into the Ghana squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
