Athletic Bilbao's Inaki Williams on how his parents moved from Ghana to Spain

Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams has provided an account of how his parents who are Ghanaians, left the West African nation for greener pastures in Spain.

They travelled thousands of kilometres across the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea as refugees before settling in Melilla, a town sharing boundaries between Morocco and Spain.

“Because when my parents were in prison [on arrival in Spain], a gentleman showed up saying that he would like to meet them - I would really love to know who that man was and what he looked like but my mother can’t remember much about it and we didn’t have the chance to say thank you to him," Williams narrates on Movistar as per AS.
