Roda JC Kerkrade star Raymond Gyasi has joined the Ghana U23 squad and trained with the team on Thursday ahead of their All African Games qualifier against Mozambique. 

The 20-year-old attacker who is on loan at Roda JC from Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar is among new foreign invitees by head coach Malik Jabir as he seeks to over a 1-0 aggregate loss from the first-leg tie.

He scored over the weekend for Roda JC before flying down to West Africa to join the squad and is expected to translate his form into the game during the weekend.

Gyasi is expected to be the influential attacking cog for Ghana over the weekend in Tamale.

While focusing on helping Ghana win qualification to the tournament, the player took to Instagram to express his joy at earning a spot in the Ghana U23 squad.

“Let your faith be bigger than your fear. [Dream] come true,” he posted along with the picture up.

Gyasi was born in the Netherlands to Ghanaian immigrants and according to him has always expressed interest in playing for the West Africans but has now had the chance.

He plays for Roda JC with his elder brother Edwin Gyasi who is also a winger.
