Athletic Bilbao forward Iñaki Williams could soon become a player of the Ghana national team, according to General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo.

In an interview with Kessben FM, Prosper Harrison Addo explained other players including Eddie Nketiah, Tariq Lamptey and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all started the process.

"You know our style of doing things, we don’t talk much until everything is finalized we like to keep things on the low. Is a process, each person’s application is different. FIFA will be asking for different documents concerning every player, For some of the players, you will get through the process at once, but for some others too you will have to provide different documents," he said.
