The 25-year-old also possesses strong attacking skills, often joining the attack to create chances through crosses and passes.

He is expected to strengthen the Black Stars’ defense with his quality and potentially secure a permanent spot ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

There was some controversy surrounding Senaya’s call-up, as the Togolese national team also named him in their squad.

However, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that the player agreed to represent the Black Stars after extensive discussions.

Senaya will aim to impress in the upcoming international friendlies against Austria and Germany, as the technical team assesses players before naming the final squad for the World Cup in June 2026.
