Ghanaian forward Inaki Williams ,who plays his club football for Spanish based Athletic Bilbao, has disclosed that his family played a major role in his nationality switch from Spain to Ghana. His decision was not merely because the Ghana National Team has secured a world cup qualification.
Williams revealed that it is his grandfather’s dream to see him feature for the black stars. The 90 year- old man would love to see his grandson play in the world cup.
“It is a decision I have taken with my heart, regardless of what people may think or say- that maybe I am only playing for Ghana because they have qualified for the world cup.”
It wasn’t an easy decision to make. I had to consult with my family and loved ones, because this decision will impact me during the next years of my career-not only in sporting terms but also on a personal level, because it is much more than football. “ he added.
The Athletic Bilboa forward hopes to bring his seniority to make an impact in the Black Stars as he has played almost 9 seasons at 1st Division level before joining the Spanish La Liga.
