Bournemouth forward Daniel Adu-Adjei has disclosed his ambition of representing Ghana at international level despite the option of playing for England.
The London-born forward is eyeing a breakthrough campaign in the upcoming season after travelling with the Cherries to USA for pre-season.
The English-Ghanaian attacker netted his first senior goal for Bournemouth in the 3-0 thumping of Everton in the opening match of the Premier League Summer Series at MetLife Stadium.
Despite showing great potential in the youth teams of Bournemouth, the 20-year-old has yet to represent England at any level, prompting the attention of Ghana’s Football Association.
“Yea, I think so. I’d love to play for Ghana,” he told GHANASoccernet in an exclusive interview. “Obviously, both my parents were born there, grew up there so I’d love to do it,” he added.
Adu-Adjei has been following the Black Stars with teammate Antoine Semenyo being a key member of the Black Stars.
“I have seen them. How they are doing, how they are getting on with stuffs and I have seen Antoine play for them at the moment and it’s good to see him do well with them.”
Although Adu-Adjei did not see Anthony Yeboah play, the talented forward is a huge fan of the former Black Stars striker, something his father passed onto him.
“I think Tony Yeboah. My dad had videos of him so I kind of watch those old clips,” he said.
Adu-Adjei will be hoping to be a regular member of Andoni Iraola’s team next season.
