Eugene Ansah is among five players handed a debut call up by the coach of the Black Stars C.K Akonnor in his latest call.

Ghana will face Mali in an International friendly game in Turkey on 9th October 2020 and the little known Ghanaian forward who plies his trade in the Israeli league has been handed a call up.

C.K Akonnor has been explaining why he handed the 25 year old center forward his maiden call up.

"I like players who at a point, can bring confusion into the opponent’s defense, constant disturbing in terms of making trouble, try to create chances and score goals and he is one of the guys who takes chances and also good at one on one situations."

"He attacks and likes to score and so we are looking forward to getting players who are constant in that sense. We don’t look for players who after five-minute action, twenty minutes before they get another chance."

"We want constant players and I see him to be one. I know there are other players who because of circumstances, are not there but we are giving Eugene Ansah a chance."

"We have two matches and all these players will have a chance to show their talent and prove to us they are equally good and are there to stay," he added.
