Spanish-born Inaki Williams announces international switch

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Spanish-born forward of Ghanaian parentage Iñaki Williams has confirmed his switch of allegiance, declaring his readiness to represent the West African nation at the international level.

The 27-year-old forward paid a visit to Ghana during the post-season holidays last month and took the opportunity to hold talks with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) about a possible switch of nationality.

Initial reports suggested that Williams, who visited Ghana with his younger sibling Nico Williams, had turned down the opportunity to represent the four-time African champions.
