Ghana's Football Association has revealed that it will continue its pursuit of Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams in a bid to secure the youngster's international future.
The 20-year-old was born to a Ghanaian father and Liberian mother in Spain and has been called into La Roja's latest Under-21 squad following some excellent performances in recent weeks.
As long as Williams does not represent Spain's senior team, he will be eligible for Ghana, who have claimed that they want the forward to switch his international allegiance.
"The sad news is that [Inaki Williams] has been called up by the Spanish U21 team," GFA communications director Ibrahim Sannie Daara said in a statement.
"But all is not lost since he is yet to play for the senior team. We want him and have made contact with his club. We want to use means through his father and see if we can woo him to come and play for Ghana.
"He is not the only target but then there are many others. There is a policy by the GFA to court all good players of Ghanaian lineage outside to come and play for us."
Williams, who netted 21 league goals in 32 games for Bilbao's second team before making the step into the first team this season, became the club's first black goalscorer in their history last month.
