Kwasi Appiah has extended his invitation to Kwesi Wreidt to be part of the Black Stars upcoming international games and the Bayern Munich whiz kid has indicated that it is a great honour to be handed this opportunity.

“At first I was speechless,” Wriedt told German tabloid Bild. “Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah got in touch to tell me about his plan. Ghana need a new approach with young players. I’m a part of that.

“I’m delighted to be able to play for the country of my parents’ birth. I’ll be making my family and friends proud. It’s the icing on the cake on what’s been a really exciting year.

Ghana will play in Yokohama on May 30 against Japan, while the second match will be in Reykjavik against Iceland on June 7.
