Spanish-born of Ghanaian descent Inaki Williams has revealed that he opted to play the Black Stars because he is loved by Ghanaians.
The Athletic Bilbao centre-forward announced his decision to represent the West African nation a months ago after turning down several attempts to play for the four-time Africa Cup of Nations champions.
Speaking to the Spanish Press in an interview ahead of the new La Liga season, Inaki Williams has disclosed that he is excited about the chance to play for Ghana.
He added that, he feels very loved by his country and wants to give his all to the national team.
“Good players travel with their national team. I am 28 years old and this opportunity was not going to be given to me anymore.
“I’m going to enjoy the moment, enjoy my roots and give back to Ghana for the opportunity it has given me,” Inaki Williams said as quoted by marca.
The highly-rated forward added, “We appreciated that the next African Cups were played in the summer.
“I will represent the country of my parents, where I feel very loved.”
Williams is expected to make his debut for the Ghana national team next month when the Black Stars play international friendly matches as part of preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
