Ghana could soon welcome a new face between the posts as 20-year-old goalkeeper Jayden Owusu-Oduro edges closer to his maiden call-up for the Black Stars.

The talented shot-stopper, who plies his trade with AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Eredivisie, has been one of the standout performers for the club this season. His commanding presence, quick reflexes, and maturity beyond his years have not gone unnoticed — catching the eye of Ghana’s technical handlers.

Born in the Netherlands to Ghanaian parents, Owusu-Oduro has previously featured for Dutch youth national teams but remains eligible to represent Ghana at the senior level. His potential inclusion is viewed as a strategic move to bolster the Black Stars’ goalkeeping options ahead of crucial international assignments.

According to close sources, talks between the player’s representatives and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) are at an advanced stage, with the youngster expected to feature in the next squad announcement.

If finalized, his decision to don the Ghanaian colors would not only strengthen the national team’s depth but also mark the beginning of what could be a long and promising international career.
