Aaron Essel and Abdul Aziz Issah, who played for Ghana at the most recent U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, are another.
The team also includes Belgium-based Mohammed Gadafi Fuseini of Union Saint-Gilloise and Caleb Yirenkyi, a top player who has excelled for FC Nordsjaelland in the Danish top division.
