Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Okraku has shed light on Greuther Furth attacker Jamie Leweling's Black Stars call-up for the upcoming 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Sudan.
The 19-year-old was among the surprising names in coach CK Akonnor's 23-man squad, in part because he currently represents Germany at U20 level.
Although he represented the country of his birth at youth level, he remains eligible to line up for the west Africans at senior level because he is of Ghanaian descent.
