“If you have Kingston you can go and sleep”- Nyantekyi

Kwesi Nyantekyie

Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantekyie has confirmed Kwesi Appiah is looking to recall Richard Kingson for the World Cup qualifier against Egypt.

Kingson has not been called up to the Black Stars for two years after he was displaced by Norway based Adam Kwarasey but is in line for a sensational re-call for the Egypt game.

Nyantekyie says the decision is entirely one for Appiah to make but feels Kingson has proved in the past he can be relied upon in crucial times.

“Why was Richard dropped from the national team? It was because he became clubless so if he is now playing then there is every opportunity for him to come back provided he is playing well”, Nyantekyie says.

“For such a veteran goalkeeper like Richard Kingson I believe if he is indeed playing well and he gets the chance to come back to the national team it will be a big boost to the team’s chances of qualifying to the World Cup because with Richard Kinston you can go and sleep if he is in good form because he is the best pair of hands we have had in the country”

The comments by the GFA president is the first official confirmation that the veteran goalkeeper who played at two world cups for Ghana is due for am imminent return.
