‘Everything rests on GFA’ – Salisu tells Kurt

England based Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu has hinted at a possibility of playing for the Black Stars, yet insisted in a friendly chat with the Ghana FA Boss Kurt Okraku that all arrangements would rest on the Football Association.

The Southampton centre-back is yet to make a clear decision on when to make his Black Stars debut, despite being one of seven Ghanaian footballers in the diaspora being given a hot chase to feature for Ghana at the 2022 World Cup.

The 23-year-old backliner met with Kurt Okraku in London during the latter’s working visit to the Europe to visit and speak with Ghanaian players abroad. Mr. Okraku posted a short video of his talks with Salisu on Facebook.

In the conversation monitored by FootyDreamsGH.com, Kurt Okraku jokingly quizzed in Hausa, “If you don’t play, would I be the one to?”

A hearty Salisu responded by claiming, “The problem is, everything is done with you. Without you, things don’t work. Hope you understand? As for players, we have a lot but you people (the GFA)…”

From the discourse, Salisu seeks to convey the message that a big part of the arrangements to get him to feature for the Black Stars would rest on the GFA, despite the impression created in the media that the former Valladolid defender is uninterested in playing for Ghana.

In an attachment to the video posted by the GFA Boss on Facebook, he wrote, “Took time off official duties to speak and to visit some Ghanaian players in the last few days.. Salisu, I pray the almighty Allah continue to protect you ..You have a big career ahead of you..Stay blessed.”
