Yaw Annor could play his first official match for Togo in the September international break.

This is because he is in the process of switching nationality from Ghana to becoming a Togolese. Talks with the Togolese Football Federation over the last few weeks have gone well. ???????? pic.twitter.com/hyZkZgwzxV

Yaw Annor didn’t switch to England or South Africa oo. He chose Togo over Ghana. This should tell you how bad things are. And this is not only him , most youths would gladly choose a different country if given the opportunity. The peace we go chop?

Yaw Annor's decision is good for him because his quality is not up to the standard for a black star call up. Let's hope he's made the right decision though. Joining Togo means he'll be playing international friendlies for the rest of his football career.

That is a tragedy. Why is Yaw Annor not in the team? What has Afena Gyan done or accomplished to get continuous calls ahead of someone like Yaw Annor?
