Key players

Attacking Midfielder

Mohammed Kudus ↗

West Ham's technically brilliant and explosive attacking midfielder — one of the Premier League's most exciting players. Quick, direct, capable of scoring and creating from anywhere. Ghana's most dangerous attacker and the player around whom everything is built.

Midfielder

Thomas Partey ↗

Arsenal's dominant defensive midfielder — physical, intelligent and commanding. One of the Premier League's best in his position and Ghana's most important midfield presence. His ability to win the ball, drive forward and protect the defence is irreplaceable.

Forward

Jordan Ayew ↗

Experienced, hard-working and combative forward with extensive Premier League experience. Brings leadership, professionalism and the kind of selfless work rate that holds the team together in the most difficult moments.

Right-back

Tariq Lamptey ↗

Electric right-back with Premier League experience whose pace and directness going forward give Ghana an attacking dimension from deep. One of the fastest players in the tournament.

Forward

Iñaki Williams ↗

Athletic, powerful and intelligent forward who chose Ghana over Spain — brings a different physical dimension to their attack. His strength, pace and work rate give Ghana a completely different option in the final third.
