Former Ghana Coach C.K Akonnor to Allow U17 World Cup Winning Son Decide International Future

• C.K Akonnor has opened up on his son's international future
• The son of the ex-Ghana captain helped Germany win the U17 World Cup
• Charles Herrmann plies his trade for Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund

Former coach of Ghana's Black Stars, Charles Kwablan Akonnor has disclosed that he will not interfere in his son's international future following his success with the U17 team of Germany.

Charles Herrmann played a pivotal role as the Germany U17 team won the FIFA World Cup in Indonesia last month.

Born in Germany, Herrmann, who plays for Borussia Dortmund, has the option of playing for the European country or Ghana.

"At their age, we are not keen on these under-17 commitments, and who will pay for a ticket for somebody to come to Africa to play for under-17? Another thing too is that maybe they should look at the talent in Ghana and use them," Akonnor told Graphic Sports, as quoted by Pulse.

However, the doors of the Ghana national team remain open for the winger, who is back in Germany with the Borussia Dortmund side.

Herrmann added the World Cup trophy to the Euro title won earlier this year, as reported by Bundesliga.
