Recent Kingson flaws urged move for Kwarasey - Nyantakyi

Kwasi Nyantakyi has revealed exclusively to GHANAsoccenet.com the motivation behind the express way Adam Kwarasey’s nationality switch had been handled in recent times.

The ex Norway U21 goalie was earlier in the week cleared to feature for the Black Stars by Fifa.

It is to be noted that the process of securing Kwarasey whose father is Ghanaian had dragged over years until recently when the Ghana FA boss personally got involved.

And to confirm the suspicion which does not take rocket science to figure out, the involvement of Nyantakyi has a direct link with the recent flaws of Ghana No.1 goalkeeper Richard Kingson.

When asked about a possible link between the two, Nyantakyie told GHANAsoccernet.com: “Probably!, Richard Kingson is doing well but time definitely calls for others to help him.

“We do not seem to have very worthy substitutes for Kingson in the absence of his ability to play and so we need to hurry up to get people to come on board.”

Interesting, isn’t it? Lets just read-on on what the President subsequently had to say “This young man Kwarasey is one person who has been penciled down for this succession plan that we are putting in place and i think we have to quicken the process of getting him to play for Ghana.”

On whether jumping in to help quicken the process of the nationality switch passed as a vote of no confidence in the people who are usually tasked to discharge this mandate, the President added: “No, it doesn’t mean so.

“It rather shows the level of seriousness attached to it. There is division of labour, every one does his work and as a manager or leader you supervise.

“But when things are not going as expected you have to intervene first of all to find out what is going on and to understand what the problems and issues are and that’s exactly what I sought to do.”
