Nana Kwame Dankwa reckons that with a dearth of options at the striking department of the Black Stars and Etouga showing signs of incredible talent, it will be in the interest of Ghana to approach him.

The Cameroonian forward has scored 13 goals for Kumasi Asante Kotoko and look set to win the GPL goal king.

Mbella Etouga has shown consistency for Kotoko as they bid to wrestle the Ghana Premier League title from rivals Hearts of Oak.

Per the regulations, Etouga would have to stay in Ghana for five years to be eligible for nationality switch.

The striker however joined Kotoko ahead of the 2021/2022 seasons hence does not qualify for possible nationality change.
