Ghana attempts to secure Barcelona's Jesse Bisiwu for national team

Jesse Bisiwu, an 18-year-old winger recently signed by FC Barcelona, is attracting national team interest due to his impressive pre-season performances. Bisiwu scored two goals against FC Basel, prompting Ghana to contact his representatives about a potential call-up to the Black Stars. Having previously represented Belgium at youth levels, he remains eligible to choose either country. With Ghana focusing on his development, they hope to incorporate him into the squad ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, Belgium is monitoring the situation without making official overtures.
