German-born Ghanaian forward, Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer has opened up on playing for the Black Meteors at the Africa U23 Cup of Nations.

“That is a good question, but I don’t know; I have never thought about it or talked about it to someone. Maybe if they call me. I don’t know when is the tournament, but we never know,” he told Ghanaweb, as quoted by Pulse.

The German-born Ghanaian has been in fine form for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga 2 this season, scoring seven goals in 23 games.

The talented forward switched nationalities to represent the west Africans in 2022, making his debut in the international friendly against Nicaragua last September.

Ghana qualified for the U23 Africa Cup of Nations after beating Algeria 2-1 on aggregate.
