“Growing up, its always been my dream to play for Ghana at any level where my age fits and I am ready for that challenge now”, Francis mentioned.
“Ghana is the land of my birth and playing for them will be a great honour. I am 21 years now and wont be eligible for either Starlets or Satellites, but I believe I can play for the Black Meteors or the Black Stars (if the chance arrives).
It is a big dream and I know dreams do come true when you work hard at it, so will see how the future unfolds in my bid to play for Ghana”, he added.
