Spain-born attackers of Ghanaian parentage, Iñaki Williams and his younger brother, Nico Williams, have arrived in the country ahead of their looming nationality switch.
Iñaki
Williams and his younger brother will meet officials of the Ghana Football
Association to hold talks about their international future.
The
Williams brothers and a raft of foreign-born Ghanaian football stars have been
on the radar of the GFA, who are seeking to beef up the Black Stars squad ahead
of the World Cup.
Football
fans in Ghana have been left drooling following the arrival of the Williams
brothers, Iñaki and Nico.
The
Athletic Bilbao pair touched down in Ghana on Tuesday, June 7, fuelling rumours
of their potential nationality switch.
Multiple
reports in the local media landscape have reported the itinerary of the
Spain-born duo which includes holding a meeting with the Ghana Football
Association to complete their switch from Spain to Ghana.
Born to Ghanaian parents, Iñaki Williams and
his younger sibling are eligible to play for Spain, however, it appears the duo
have had a change of heart ahead of the World Cup.
And the
prospect of having the talented duo on the Black Stars team has put
football-loving fans in the country into a state of unbridled joy.
Since
Ghana's qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the football federation has
aggressively pursued foreign-born Ghanaian internationals in order to beef up
the team for the Mundial.
Brighton
fullback Tariq Lamptey has reportedly finalized his switch from England to
Ghana with that of Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi, Eddie Nketiah and the Williams
brothers on the horizon.
With such exciting news greeting the football
ecosystem, soccer fans took to social media to register their joy in assembling
a formidable team for the World Cup.
