Spanish-born centre-forward Iñaki Williams has just whet the appetite of Ghanaian football lovers following his reaction to Ghana's draw in the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup. The 27-year-old forward is one of many Ghanaians born in the diaspora being pursued by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to switch allegiance to the West African nation. Following Ghana's qualification to its fourth World Cup, football enthusiasts have prayed on the GFA to go all out in the pursuit of Ghanaians with dual citizenship in order to beef up the Black Stars team.

Names such as Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Brighton's speed merchant Tariq Lamptey have been on the lips of football fans in the West African nation as Ghana seeks to reinforce a young squad to navigate the World Cup. 

While Iñaki Williams has not been mentioned in the same breath as Odoi and Lamptey, the Athletic Bilbao man's reaction following Ghana's World Cup draw has given signals he might just consider a change of nationality. Following Ghana's World Cup draw, the official Twitter account of the Black Stars tweeted the identity of Ghana's group opponents - Portugal, Uruguay and the Korea Republic. Apparently, Williams was monitoring proceedings on social media as he was one of many followers of the account to like the tweet - which has raised eyebrows and whet the appetite of football lovers for a possible switch of allegiance.
