AshantiGold defender Kadri Mohammed has received a first Black Stars invitation for the upcoming friendly against Guinea and next month’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Mauritius, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The centre-back is said to have impressed head coach Avram Grant during the Local Black Stars friendly with Japan’s U23 side.

Mohammed was one of the best performers in the 3-0 defeat in the city of Saga.

He was very influential in AshGold’s league title success last season.
