The Spanish-born of Ghanaian descent has confirmed his decision to represent the West African nation at the senior level.
Athletic Bilbao striker Iñaki Williams has announced his decision to play for the senior national team of Ghana ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Williams on Tuesday took to his official twitter account to confirm his decision in a video of announcing nationality switch to the four-time Africa Cup of Nations champions.
Inaki Williams said in the video “Today a new challenge begins. From now I will defend Ghana's T-shirt with all my whilst. I'll give my best. I am one of the Black Stars”
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) in the last six years made several attempts to lure him away from Spain but he it could be disrespect to those who were born in Ghana.
Williams and his younger brother Nico Williams visited Ghana for the first time last month and he was reported had an engagement with the Ghana Football Association and the Black Stars technical team over his international allegiance switch.
Ghana's qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup became a major factor to convince the 27-year-old centre-forward to announce his decision to represent Ghana.
Inaki Williams is one of the highly-rated strikers in Spanish La Liga after scoring 74 goals and providing 44 assists in his 331 appearances for Athletic Bilbao in all competitions.
He is eligible to represent Ghana at the senior level despite playing 30 minutes for Spain in an international friendly against Bosnia Herzegovina in 2016.
It is believed that Chelsea FC star Callum Hudson-Odoi has also agreed to switch his allegiance to feature for the Black Stars at the World Cup after being snubbed by England coach Gareth Southgate since 2019.
Brighton and Hove Albion full-back Tariq Lamptey is another Ghanaian-born footballers who has decided to switch his nationality from England to Ghana.
