Ghana's Football Association have confirmed they want to persuade Tariq Lamptey to switch international allegiance from England to represent them.

The 20-year-old recently revealed that he is yet to decide whether he will play for England or Ghana after representing the former at Under 18, U19, U20 and U21 levels.
