Asante Kotoko's dynamic midfielder, Richmond Lamptey, secures a spot in the Black Stars' provisional 55-man squad for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Head coach Chris Hughton unveiled the comprehensive list to the media on December 20, 2023, following its submission to CAF earlier in the week, gearing up for the tournament set to kick off in just 24 days.
Lamptey has been a standout performer for the Porcupine Warriors, contributing significantly to their resurgence in the Ghana Premier League. With four assists in ten league games, Lamptey's inclusion sparks discussions and debates, underlining his impact on the pitch.
Ghana's journey in the group stage begins with a clash against Cape Verde on Sunday, January 14, 2024, followed by a pivotal encounter against record champions Egypt four days later. The group stage concludes with a match against Mozambique on January 22.
As Ghana aims to break a 42-year AFCON trophy drought dating back to 1982, Lamptey's presence adds depth and potential to the Black Stars' midfield in their quest for continental glory.
