• The red-hot striker has been in tremendous form for the English second tier and his addition will add more bite to the Black Stars' attack
• Ghana will square off against archrivals Nigeria in a titanic cliffhanger which will be staged later in the month

English-born Ghanaian striker Antoine Semenyo has earned a call-up to the Black Stars ahead of the epic encounter against West African neighbours Nigeria.

Semenyo's imperious form since December has seen him involved in the most goals in the English Championship in that period, proceeding to win the Player of the month award in January.

The 22-year-old's renaissance since suffering an injury has courted the interest of the Ghana Football Association.

According to a report filed by renowned sports analyst Bismark Owusu Bempah, affectionately called Ayala, Semenyo is set to earn his maiden call-up to the Black Stars ahead of the FIFA World Cup final eliminator.
