Belgian-born Ghanaian youngster Jérémy Doku has rejected the chance to represent Ghana at the international level.

Akonnor tried to spawn the RSCA trio Luckassen-Amuzu and Doku for a selection for the. Black Stars 2021 Africa Cup of Nations double-header qualifiers game against Sudan, but only defended Derrick Luckassen left the door open while the latter turned the down the invitation.

Doku has been a Belgian youth international with 35 caps and wants to grow into the main Belgium national team.
