“I have been visiting the players. I have been to Holland and Belgium. I have spotted about four to five players. I have seen them play a lot of times but I needed to see them and talk to them in person,” Appiah said, as quoted by Modern Ghana.
“Because some of them are willing to play for Ghana and others do not want to so you will have to see them and talk to them.
“Out of the five I have spoken to from Holland they are all willing to play for the Black Stars but there are some of them who have played for the junior national teams of Holland so we will have to do a nationality switch for them.”

Appiah revealed that there are other players in Belgium who are also interested switching nationalities to play for Ghana.
"There are one or two players in Belgium too who want to represent Ghana… We will look at those who are playing top-flight football and are ready for the Black Stars,” he added.
The Black Stars will be in action next month when the qualifiers for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) begin.
Ghana is in the same qualifying group with Sao Tome and Príncipe, South Africa and Sudan.
