"Ghana Was My First Choice"- Adam Larsen Kwarasey

Norway-born goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey has revealed he never faced a dilemma about his international career. The Stromsgodset goalkeeper was cleared eligible to play for Ghana last month after three years of waiting. He had earlier refused an invitation to play for Norway�s Under-21 side with the desire to feature for the Black Stars in mind. Kwarasey, born to a Ghanaian father and Norwegian mother, said he was keen on playing for the Black Stars right from the start. �I didn�t choose Ghana over Norway. This is because I have never been called up for the Norwegian senior side. When people got to know that I was from Ghana, I got a lot of support from Ghanaians sending me messages saying that they hope one day they would like me to play for Ghana,� the 23-year-old told MTNfootball.com �I think they were excited about the idea of me representing Ghana. I came to develop the passion to play for Ghana more because of the support I got from Ghanaians around. �I have not been going around thinking who I should choose. It was more like, which country would like to have me. Because I�m half and half, and I feel as much Norwegian as I feel Ghanaian.� The promising gloves man will be named in Ghana�s squad to face rivals Nigeria in an international friendly to be played on 9 August in London.
