Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council member George Amoakoh believes reports about the use of black magic, popularly known as 'juju', is hampering efforts to woo Ghanaian players in the diaspora to represent the Black Stars.
New coach of the four-time African champions, CK Akonnor, has set his sights on broadening the national talent pool with players of Ghanaian descent abroad, having identified Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah and Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey among a list of targets.
The West Africans have over the years failed to lift a trophy, and have been rejected by most Ghanaian players abroad when asked to switch their nationality.
