Meanwhile, former Dutch international footballer, George Boateng, has finally detailed why he decided to shun Ghana for the European country.
In a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on Ghanasoccernet.com, Boateng said the Ghana Football Association (GFA) never showed interest in him.
Boateng, who was born in Nkawkaw, ended up playing for the Dutch national team after earning his first call up at the age of 18 while playing for Feyenoord.
During an interview on The Tracker Show on Citi TV, he said:
As a young star, when I made my debut in the Feyenoord first team, nobody in the GFA ever came to me or sent a letter to express their interest, to say George Boateng is one of our players, he was born in Ghana, he is eligible to play for us.
