Ghanaian actress Maame Serwaa has openly shared why she has no intention of permanently relocating abroad.

According to Jeddman, ignoring the players’ current interest in joining the Black Stars could be a big mistake. “Ghana might regret if they ignore the calls of Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson,” he stated, stressing that their intention is clearly to help the team gain more credibility on the global stage.

Jeddman noted that while some fans are skeptical about their sudden interest now that Ghana is performing well, it’s important to look beyond emotions and focus on building a stronger team. “Why would they even want to play now? Don’t you think they should be ashamed of asking to join after the qualifiers? But the truth is — their intentions are to help,” he explained.

He highlighted Nketiah’s sharp striking ability and Hudson-Odoi’s intelligent play, emphasizing that their inclusion alongside Mohammed Kudus, André Ayew, Thomas Partey, and Salis Abdul Samed could create a powerful, balanced team ready to face any opponent.

Jeddman also reminded Ghanaians that players’ earlier decisions are often influenced by external factors like management and career strategies. “Ghanaians should forgive them and give them the full courage of support,” he added.

As the World Cup draws nearer, the debate around foreign-born Ghanaian talents intensifies — but one thing is clear: the inclusion of top talents could make the difference between competing and winning.

Hudson-Odoi, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League, has long been at the center of discussions over which national team he would represent. Though he has featured for England at youth and senior levels, he remains eligible to play for Ghana through his parents.

The winger famously turned down a previous call-up from the Ghana Football Association, opting to keep his options open. However, recent reports indicate that he has now made up his mind about his international future — a decision that could significantly bolster Ghana’s attacking strength if he chooses to wear the Black Stars jersey.

His decision comes at a crucial time as the Black Stars prepare to face Comoros on Sunday in the ongoing World Cup Qualifiers. With Ghana’s technical team seeking to strengthen the squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup campaign, Hudson-Odoi’s commitment would be a massive boost.

Fans across Ghana and the diaspora are eagerly awaiting an official confirmation from the player or the Ghana Football Association.
