Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director Ibrahim Sannie Daara has announced that Crystal Palace forward Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of officially switching his allegiance to Ghana.
According to Ibrahim Sannie Daara, Eddie Nketiah is taking the necessary steps to make the move happen as soon as possible.
He further revealed that the required paperwork has already been sent to the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) for assessment and official confirmation.
Reports suggest Eddie Nketiah is now keen on the switch and hopes to complete the process quickly, with the 2027 AFCON qualifiers approaching.
In a post on X, Ibrahim Sannie Daara wrote, “EXCLUSIVE: England star Eddie Nketiah is on the verge of switching allegiance to play for Ghana. 🇬🇭
The required paperwork is being put together to be sent to FIFA for consideration.
Nketiah has recovered from a knock at Crystal Palace and is expected to return to training today”.
Earlier, Saddick Adams, a veteran sports journalist, revealed that Eddie Nketiah, an English player of Ghanaian descent, is open to playing for the Black Stars.
According to Saddick Adams, Eddie Nketiah had, some years ago, rejected Ghana’s approach when officials from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) approached him.
The Angel FM presenter added that the Crystal Palace striker now feels mature and is ready to play for the national team if given a call-up.
Saddick Adams, in a post on X, wrote, “Spoke to Eddie Nketiah’s family this weekend to get clarity on the stories about his switch.
The source admitted that Eddie Nketiah had previously spoken to the Ghana coach and some GFA top officials, but he had not settled at his club yet, so he couldn’t make a decision”.
He added, “However, Nketiah is now settled and at 26, mature enough and ready to ‘give his very best’ if Ghana calls now.
Says he has Ghana blood running through him, so his “identity is unquestionable”.
Basically, he’s open to playing for Ghana now”.
