The senior men's national team, Black Stars, are on the cusp of receiving a major boost prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Long-term target Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly completed processes in acquiring his Ghanaian passport.
The English-born winger of Ghanaian parentage has dropped many hints of switching his allegiance to the West African nation following a series of snubs by England boss Gareth Southgate.
In a post on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, the Chelsea winger was reportedly assisted to complete the process of acquiring his Ghanaian passport - a vital step in switching nationality.
According to the emerging reports, Odoi completed the process during his last visit to Ghana during the winter break.
The 21-year-old attacker, who has represented England at all youth levels, has been on the radar of the GFA and with the Black Stars qualifying for the World Cup, it is believed that this could be the final allure to convince him.
Despite playing on three occasions for the Three Lions, a change to FIFA's eligibility rules means he can still switch to Ghana in November, which coincides with the start of the upcoming Mundial.
