Inaki Williams has decided to play for Ghana’s Black Stars.
The Athletic Bilbao striker announced his decision on Tuesday in a video posted to his social media pages.
In the video, Williams said, “I will defend Ghana’s T-shirt.”
Williams was born in Spain to Ghanaian immigrants and said last year that he feels more Spanish, despite his love for Ghana.
However, Williams is now in favour of donning the Ghana colours.
Williams was in Ghana in June with his younger brother Nico Williams, who also plays for Bilbao.
Nico has yet to decide his international future, but GFA officials are optimistic he would also play for Ghana.
Inaki, 27, initially committed to Spain and appeared in one friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016.
He previously played for Spain’s U-21 team, scoring three goals in 17 games.
Williams has remarkably gone six years without missing a La Liga match.
He had eight goals and five assists in the 2021-22 season.
This is a huge boost for the technical team of the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
