The Draw for the Qatar World Cup has finally been done and Ghana is in the group with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

Though some fans are optimistic Ghana may not qualify from the group but others claimed that if these 5 foreign players accept to play for Ghana, Black Stars can qualify from the group. These players are:

1. CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI

Callum Hudson-Odoi is an English winger who represents the England national team and Chelsea in the Premier League.

Due to his dual nationality and the fact that he has three England caps, Hudson Odoi is still eligible to play for Ghana.

2. INAKI WILLIAMS

Although there are no formal statements approving the switch up, Williams is one of the players Ghana should expect to join the team in the World Cup.

3. TARIQ LAMPTEY

He plays right winger for Brighton in the Premier League and for the England Under-21 squad.

Although he has not confirmed if he will make the transfer, the GFA has listed him as one of the players who will eventually join the national team.
