According to the Hamburg forward, his decision to play for Ghana was inspired by his father and the chance to play international football with the African country was easier.

"My father comes from Ghana, he would be very proud of me if I could now play for his fatherland. In addition, it is probably easier to become a national team player there," he told German news outlet the Bild.

The young attacker joined Hamburg in the summer transfer window from Bundesliga III side Dynamo Dresden.

Kinigsdorffer is likely to make his debut for the four times African champions in September after receiving his Ghanaian passport.

"I would be willing to play for Ghana. I met Otto Addo last December before he was national coach. Since then we have been in close contact. I already take care of the Ghanaian passport. I would be happy if I could attend the next international matches in September," added the striker.

The Berlin-born striker previously played for Hertha Berlin before joining Dynamo Dresden.
