Southampton defender, Mohammed Salisu is set to honor a call up to the national team after meeting the Ghana Football Association [GFA] boss, Kurt Okraku in England.
Okraku has been visiting Ghanaian players in Europe ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers.
Salisu has rejected several national team call up, citing personal reasons that he needs more time.
The GFA President, using his Hausa oratory skills, managed to get Salisu to state the likely date he would play for Ghana.
During the meeting, Salisu made clear his desire to play for Ghana but Okraku jokingly pressed him in the Hausa language to name the date which forced the confession from the player.
From the conversation in Hausa, Salisu pleaded with Okraku for patience to settle in England first before playing for the Black Stars but the GFA boss jokingly pressed him saying “are you trying to rap me?.
“If you don’t play football, I’m I the one who is going to play?,” the FA Capo quizzed the Southampton star.
Salisu replied: “The problem is we do everything with you guys, and if we don’t include you it won’t work so I hope you understand. There are a lot of players.”
Mohammed Salisu will likely be available for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as well as the FIFA World Cup later this year in Qatar.
