Arsenal forward, Eddie Nketaih is reportedly considering a nationality switch to play for the Black Stars.

According to ghanasoccernet.com, the Ghana FA have begun talks to convince the Gunners forward to switch allegiance to Ghana.

The report further indicates that the FA are confident of luring Nketiah by leveraging Ghana’s qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
