Former Black Stars striker, Augustine Arhinful has cautioned Coach Kwesi Appiah not to recall Kevin-Prince Boateng, who has joined Spanish giant Barcelona back to the national team.
Barcelona on Monday announced the signing of the German-born-Ghanaian on loan from Italian side Sosuollo, a move that came as a surprise to some connoisseurs of the game.
Despite his impressive heroics with Sassuolo after just six months, Arhinful wants Boateng’s return to the national team to be based on his willingness to serve the country.
“We must first ask Kevin whether he still wants to get back into the Black Stars before we start talking about that,” he said.
“For now the benefits we as a Ghanaians will get is that Kevin is being addressed as a ‘Former Black Stars player’ in every media house both locally and foreign which I believe will lift the name Ghana high.”
Boateng’s move to the La Liga reigning champions came as a surprise to football loving fans but Arhinful believes the move could be more beneficial to both parties, saying he was not surprised.
“I wasn’t surprised at all when I heard that Kevin-Prince Boateng is joining Barcelona because they had their own reasons for signing him,” he said.
“I think Kevin is guaranteed of winning a trophy even if he doesn’t get more playing time at Barcelona so I will urge all Ghanaians to pray for him in getting more playing time,” he added.
