Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghanaian forward Elvis Manu is open to playing for the Black Stars ahead of the upcoming 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old eligible to play for the Netherlands, having represented at the youth levels says he decided to switch nationality and play for the four-time Africa champions six years ago.<\/p>\n

However he was close to getting a call up but his paper were not ready by then.<\/p>\n

“The topic started five or six years ago, but I have been seriously involved in this matter for two years”, he told TVP Sport.<\/p>\n

“Yes. The manager at the time wanted to appoint me, but my papers weren’t ready at that time. I took up the procedure, but the selector has changed in the meantime. We’ll see what the future holds. Hope to play for Ghana soon”.<\/p>\n

Elvis Manu has had stints in the Netherlands, England, Turkey, China, Bulgaria, and now in Poland.<\/p>\n

He currently plays for Wisla Krakow and has scored two goals in seven appearances since joining the club in January.<\/p>\n

“In fact, I can be called a traveler. Thanks to these trips, I learned a lot and saw things that I would not have seen if I were not a footballer”, he responded on being called a journeyman by Ghana’s biggest football website GHANAsoccernet.<\/p>\n

Manu won the Bulgarian league title with Ludogorets last season.<\/p>\n
