Legendary former Ghana player Mohammed Ahmed Polo has told Black Stars coach C.K Akonnor to assemble a team that contain players who can conquer Africa.

Ghana have gone on a dry spell since last winning the AFCON title in 1982 in Libya and will want to end the AFCON drought in Cameroon.

According to the 1978 AFCON winner, the Black Stars gaffer must pick players who have the ability to win the title.

Ghana has gone close three times since the last win ending as runner up in 1992, 2010 and 2015.

"He [Akonnor] has to assemble players who have the ability to conquer Africa once again to prove that the sleeping giant of African football is wide awake," Polo, who won the Afcon title with Ghana in 1978, told Graphic Sports newspaper.

He added that C.K Akonnor should build his AFCON team around some core players and metioned the Ayew brother Partey and Mohammed Kudus.

“In every tournament, coaches build their teams around some core players, so in this tournament, Akonnor should build his players around the Ayew brothers, as well as Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus who have proved that they could be relied upon in such tough competitions."he said.
