Nico Williams, an athletic Bilbao forward, has insisted that he wants to play for Spain rather than his native Ghana.
The 20-year-old reiterated his decision to choose Spain over Ghana, while he said I ‘wanted to be here.’
His brother, Inaki, had already declared publicly that he wanted to play for the Black Stars and made his debut in a friendly against Brazil, which Ghana lost 3-0.
Williams reiterated his decision to ignore Ghana for the 2010 World Cup champions after making his debut for Spain in their UEFA Nations League defeat to Switzerland.
“I have always been clear that I wanted to be here and I am very happy that Luis Enrique has given me this opportunity,” said Williams.
“I hope to take advantage of it. As everyone knows, I want to be with the Spanish team and be better, show that I’m worth being here.”
Nico Williams will be hoping to make the starting lineup in a UEFA Nations League winner-take-all match against Portugal.
