Josh Acheampong, a Ghanaian defender who was born in England, has received public support from former Ghanaian Sports Minister Hon. Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, who claims that he is a better player than any of the current Black Stars defenders and ought to be called up to the national side.
Vanderpuye praised Acheampong’s outstanding Chelsea performances, pointing out his defensive versatility and ability to bolster the Black Stars. Acheampong’s addition, he underlined, might strengthen the team’s defense and help them in the next 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) ought to hasten his admission in the national squad, according to the former Youth and Sports Minister and Odododiodio Member of Parliament.

Acheampong is still qualified to play for Ghana at the senior level despite having played for England at the youth level. Discussions concerning his possible switch of allegiance to represent the Black Stars have been triggered by his recent performances.
Vanderpuye’s remarks support the growing demands of Ghanaian football supporters and commentators for certain players, such as Acheampong, to be called up to the national squad.
