Ex-Enyimba forward Frimpong wanted to play for Nigeria and not Ghana

Former Enyimba striker Joetex Asamoah Frimpong has revealed that he was never keen to play for Ghana initially and was only interested in playing for Nigeria.

The 38-year-old is widely remembered as one of the most successful non-Nigerian players to ply their trade in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), doing so with the Peoples’ Elephants between 2003 and 2006 and winning the Caf Champions League in 2003 and 2004 as well as two league titles, one Federation Cup, one Nigeria Super Cup crown and two Caf Super Cup titles.
