While some players have difficulty switching countries, Semenyo said making the switch wasn’t a problem at all mainly because of his standing in the England player rankings in his early years

“I was never really in the England rankings like that anyway. Ghana came in 2021 and I can’t turn down playing first team for Ghana so it was such an easy decision.”

“My dad was so happy…everyone in my family was just happy that they support Ghana. I can’t even tell it was crazy” Semenyo said.
