Athletic Bilbao centre-forward Inaki Williams has set his sights on winning many more caps for Ghana following his debut on Friday against Brazil.

Williams won his Black Stars first cap when he came off the bench in Ghana's 3-0 friendly defeat to the five-time world champions at the Stade de Oceane in France.

Born in Bilbao to Ghanaian parents, the 28-year-old chose to represent Ghana after previously playing for Spain at youth level and in a 2016 friendly at senior level.
 
"It's a very special feeling to play my first game with my new team-mates for my country," Williams told BBC Sport Africa.
 
"I was very happy to come in and make some contributions, I cannot thank the staff and squad enough for all the help. The hard work continues for the World Cup and hopefully I am going to enjoy the opportunity."
 
"I hope to play more matches and make the Black Stars successful."
 
A dominant first half saw Brazil totally outclass Ghana in the French port city of Le Havre.
 
But the introduction of three debutants - Williams, Brighton's Tariq Lamptey and Southampton's Mohammed Salisu - brought stability to the team.
 
"I think the second half saw a better performance from us," added Williams, whose debut came just two months ahead of the World Cup.
 
"It was not easy because it's Brazil - a top football nation - but as Ghana we were stronger in the second half. I enjoyed myself on the pitch by helping my team."
 
Williams, who has been on the books of Athletic Bilbao since 2013, has also been enjoying himself off the pitch with the Black Stars, who will meet Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay at the World Cup.
