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 US-based reporter Reuben Obodai 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’ve 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.
