Ghanaian forward Nico Williams accepts Spain call-up


Nico Williams has accepted Spain's invitation and reported to camp ahead of their games later this month.

Spain named Williams to their squad for Nations League matches against Switzerland and Portugal, amid interest from Ghana.

Ghana contacted Nico after his senior brother Inaki Williams switched his allegiance to Ghana earlier this year, but the young winger asked for time to decide his international future.

The brothers were both born in Spain to Ghanaian parents, and after losing Inaki to Ghana, Spain have moved quickly to cap Nico.

Nico has accepted the invitation and is expected to participate in the games.

If he plays any minutes for Spain against Switzerland in Zaragoza on September 24 and Portugal three days later in Braga, he will still be eligible to represent Ghana, as long as he does not play more than three competitive senior matches before turning 21.

Nico has also represented Spain four times at the U-18 level and five times at the U-21 level.

Nico's brother Inaki played 30 minutes for Spain before deciding to commit to Ghana and he is set to make his debut on Friday against Brazil.
