C. K. Akonnor, head coach of Dreams FC, believes the local league is now endowed with more quality players for Black Stars coach, Avram Grant, to consider.

Grant is expected to release his 23- man- squad to face Mozambique in a double header World Cup qualifier later this month and, according to the former Black Stars skipper, an addition of some local names will be ideal, considering how competitive the local league has become in recent times.

The former Accra Hearts of Oak and Eleven Wise coach told the Graphic Sports last Saturday after the Dreams- All Stars Premier League encounter at Dawu optimistic that Coach Avram Grant could scout better talents to augment his squad.

He was convinced that the quality of the league put it in a better position to supply good players to the Black Stars.

Coach Grant and his assistant, Maxwell Konadu, together with the Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantekyi, were all in the stands to monitor the performance of the players.

“I’m not forcing anybody to pick players. They should be allowed to take their own decisions freely.

“It’s in the hands of the manager and his assistant and we have to support whatever comes out but there is quality in our league. We’ve improved, coaches are doing well and so there is the need for Grant to look at this and probably pick one or two players,” Akonnor stressed.
