Latif Blessing has admitted he is frustrated by his continuous omission from the Ghana squad.

A push for American citizenship backed by the desire to wear the US jersey could see the Black Stars losing another asset, who won the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League  goal king.

Blessing,who was subsequently adjudged the Most Valuable Player of the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League is yet to be capped by Ghana.

He was included in the provisional Ghanaian squad for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, but wasn’t selected for the final 23-man roster

"Not getting a call-up is a difficult thing to deal with and sometimes, I feel disappointed,” he said in an interview with LAFC on the team’s official Facebook page.

“I know that I am playing well but the invitations are not coming through. People in Ghana have been asking why I have not been playing for the national team but then, I am waiting for that invitation. I believe that there are better times ahead.

"If Ghana is not ready to give me a call-up, I will play for another country that wants me. I need to move forward as a player. Off the United States give me a call-up, I will say yes to it. I am working on getting my passport and documentation that will allow me to stay here and play.”
