Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah can look to some star performers in the domestic league if he runs out of options in naming
GHANASoccernet.com has compiled a list of players who have distinguished themselves in the Ghana Premier League and at the 2014 African Nations Championship
Stephen Adams
1. Stephen Adams:
The Aduana Stars goalkeeper proved pivotal in Ghana?s campaign and was excellent in between the sticks at the CHAN finals in South Africa. He rose to the occasion several times and helped the local Black Stars to win silver.
Augustine Okrah
2. Augustine Okrah:
The Right to Dream graduate has come in leaps and bounds this season and earned rave reviews with his beguiling skills.
He leads the scorers chart with 12 goals as an offensive midfielder and has some enchanting dribbling qualities.
Kwabena Adusei
3. Kwabena Adusei:
The centre-back is renowned for his steel and militant defending at the back for his club Asante Kotoko.
He replicated that form that at the African Nations Championship. Adusei is also a penalty expert and hardly misses from 12 yards.
Yahaya Mohammed
4. Yahaya Mohamed:
He is one of the few versatile players in the Ghana Premier League.
The Asante Kotoko man can play as a centre-back, as both defensive and offensive midfield and lead the attack as well.
Yahaya?s horse power can be relied on at the highest stage.
Godfred Saka
5. Godfred Saka:
The right-back gave a good account of himself at the CHAN tournament and has been one of the consistent performers in the Ghana Premier League where he has played for four seasons.
For three seasons running, he has been the highest scoring defender with his free-kicks.
Do you think locally-based players will be named in Kwesi Appiah?s provisional World Cup squad? Have home-based players done enough to convince the head coach? Let?s hear from you.?
