Rashid Nortey has been rewarded for his outstanding performance for Medeama in the Ghana Premier League with a Black Stars call up.

He has been an integral figure in the mauve and yellow's pursuit of their first ever Ghana Premier League title.

The 25 year old midfielder currently has five goals and three assists in the Ghana Premier League.

According to sources the coach who recently watched Nortey play in their 2-1 triumph against Kotoko in Obuasi is impressed with the player's passing range and his ability to retain possession even under intense pressure.

It will not be surprising if he is handed his debut in the first game against Morocco.

Nortey was recently handed a call up to the Black Stars B in their friendly match against Uzbekistan in March this year.

Ghana will play two high profile games against North African giants Morocco (Atlas Lions) and two-time African champions Ivory Coast (Elephants) next month in place of the two FIFA World Cup qualifiers that got cancelled last week.

The Black Stars will first play against Morocco in Rabat on June 8 before hosting Ivory Coast at the Cape Coast Stadium four days later.

Head coach C.K Akonnor will use the match to asses his options as he tries to keep the team fit for the 2022 World Cup qualifier which will now commence in September.

Ghana is in the same group as South Africa, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia for the first round of the qualifiers.
