The Ghana FA are still in talks with Jeremie Frimpong over a nationality switch ahead of the 2022 World Cup, according to reports.

The Bayern Leverkusen right-back has decided to represent Netherlands, the country of his birth and was handed a call up by Louis Van Gaal in March for the games against Denmark and Germany in the UEFA Nations League.

However, Ghana still has a chance of getting the Bayer Leverkusen star with talks still progressing between the two parties.

Frimpong has already indicated he feels Dutchman, thus his reason for choosing Netherlands ahead of England and Ghana.

According to Football transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, the Ghana FA is still pushing hard to convince the Dutch-born defender to switch nationality and play at the 2022 World Cup.

Frimpong will strengthen Ghana’s defense and attack should he join the squad for the Mundial.

The Ghana FA is said to be using the same tactics used in luring English-born Tariq Lamptey.

Frimpong signed for Leverkusen in January 2021 from Scottish giants Celtic for a fee around £11.5million.

The 21-year-old has scored two goals in seven appearances for Bayer Leverkusen this season.

Frimpong was impressive is Netherlands U-21 2-1 win against Belgium U-21 in a friendly on Saturday.
