As the Black Stars prepare for their crucial double-header against the Central African Republic and Comoros, several players are heading into the camp in exceptional form.
From Europe to the Ghana Premier League, these stars could prove decisive in Ghana’s quest to secure a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Benjamin Asare (Hearts of Oak)
Hearts of Oak’s shot-stopper has been unbeatable so far, keeping four clean sheets in four league matches.
Calm under pressure and commanding in his area, Asare’s consistency has made him one of the standout performers in the Ghana Premier League this season. If given the nod, his form could provide the Black Stars with much-needed security between the sticks.
Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Leicester City)
At Leicester City, Fatawu Issahaku has been a livewire. The young winger is dazzling fans with his flair, pace, and confidence—scoring brilliant goals and creating chances with ease.
His explosive form in the Championship makes him one of Ghana’s most in-form attackers and a key weapon for Otto Addo’s side in breaking down tough defences.
Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth)
The Bournemouth forward is enjoying a brilliant run of form in the Premier League, registering nine goal contributions in just seven matches, including a brace in his side’s 3-1 win over Fulham.
His work rate, direct running, and finishing make him one of Ghana’s most potent options in attack heading into the qualifiers.
Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur)
Mohammed Kudus has hit the ground running in North London. With five goal contributions this season, four assists and one goal, scored in Spurs’ 2-1 win over Leeds United at Elland Road.
He remains the creative heartbeat of this Ghana side. His vision, control, and ability to turn a game on its head will be vital against both Central African Republic and Comoros.
With all four players in scintillating form, Ghana’s hopes of securing maximum points and taking a big step closer to the 2026 FIFA World Cup look bright. The spotlight is on, and these stars are ready to deliver.
