Crystal Palace striker Edward Keddar “Eddie” Nketiah has sparked excitement among Ghanaian football fans by reaffirming his openness to represent the Black Stars at the international level.
In an exclusive statement, Nketiah revealed that while he remains eligible to play for England, he would gladly don the Ghanaian jersey if called up by Black Stars coach Otto Addo.
“I’m open to representing Ghana or England. If Ghana calls me for the World Cup, I’ll be there. It’s every player’s dream to play in the World Cup,” Nketiah said.
The 25-year-old forward, who has been making waves in the Premier League, hinted that the opportunity to compete on football’s biggest stage could influence his international decision. His comments have already generated significant buzz among Ghanaian football supporters, who see him as a potential key figure for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Coach Otto Addo, who has been strengthening the Black Stars’ attacking options, now has a high-profile player to consider as he finalizes the squad for upcoming international fixtures.
Nketiah’s willingness to switch allegiance underscores a growing trend of talented players with dual eligibility opting to represent their ancestral nations, enhancing both squad depth and fan excitement.
The football world will be watching closely to see if Ghana secures the services of Nketiah in time for the tournament.
