The youngster is over the moon after he was handed his maiden chance to represent the Black Stars ahead of the double header
Sheriff Tiraspol midfielder Edmund Addo has been overly excited following his maiden invitation by Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac to represent the country against Ethiopia and South Africa in the Fifa World Cup qualifiers, according to a source close to the player.
The 21-year-old has been in a splendid form this season for Moldovan giants Sherrif, particularly in Uefa Champions League, and his consistent performances have not gone unseen.
Addo was sent an invite by Ghana Football Association’s deputy secretary and he has acknowledged receipt.
He is expected to help the Black Stars to win the remaining games in order to qualify from group G since South Africa are leading the race.
Milovan Rajevac was in Milan a fortnight ago to meet up with Edmund when his side played Inter Milan in the Uefa Champions League and negotiations between them led to this call up.
“Edmund is very happy with the chance offered him by the coach,” a source told AshesGyamera.com.
“He has been in a different mood ever since the invitation reached his club and he was notified. It is every player’s dream to represent his country on the international stage and I believe this will help his career.
“Obviously, he will be an instant hit with the Black Stars since he knows how to work under pressure. He is aware of the situation at stake and will rise to the occasion when given the chance against Ethiopia or South Africa next week,” the source added.
Ghana’s squad will be officially unveiled this week and reports in the local media suggest that Israel-based Richmond Boakye Yiadom will be named in the squad.
