Evans Mensah turns attention to senior Ghana call-up

Ghana attacker Gideon Mensah has moved on from his disappointment at the recent Africa U23 Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt as he focuses on earning a call-up to the senior team, the Black Stars.

The Finland-based winger was one of the Black Meteors' standout performers at the continental championship where they finished fourth, just short of securing qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Only the top three teams at the competition were rewarded with tickets to represent Africa at next year's global showpiece.

“The competition [Olympics] is played every four years and I'm 21 now, obviously I wouldn’t be eligible to play in the next edition [in 2024]," Mensah told TV3.
