Karim Zito says Albert Amoah should be a member of the Black Stars team.
After an outstanding start to the season, Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito has backed forward Albert Amoah for a call-up to Ghana’s senior national side, the Black Stars.
The player was crucial to the team’s FA Cup victory the previous season and has four goals in five games across all competitions this season.
Zito, who insisted that the 23-year-old has earned the right to be considered for international service, hailed Amoah’s play and consistency following Kotoko’s 2-0 victory over the reigning Ghana Premier League winners Bibiani Gold Stars in Kumasi.
“You saw what he did and you are called into the Black Stars based on performance,” Zito said after the match. “If it is performance, I think Albert Amoah is on top; he deserves at least to be called.”
Amoah scored Kotoko’s second goal in Wednesday’s victory by curling a crisp effort into the net from the edge of the box, continuing his impressive run.
His second goal in three league games this season, the goal helped Kotoko keep up their undefeated start to the season.
Brandon Thomas-Asante of Coventry City was chosen by the technical panel to replace injured Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao, despite the former Accra Great Olympics forward being slated for a late Black Stars call-up.
