President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has admitted that recent howlers by Richard Kingson might have forced him to personally intervene in Adam Kwarasey’s nationality switch, according to GHANAsoccenet.com.The ex-Norway U21 goalie was earlier in the week cleared to feature for the Black Stars by Fifa.The process for securing Kwarasey, whose father is Ghanaian, had dragged on for years as the GFA officials in charge of his switch got frustrated over Fifa antics.But in his promise to change the dwindling fortunes of Ghanaian teams, the GFA boss personally got involved with the securing process, which unlocked the three-year stand-off.Mr Nyantakyie told GHANAsoccernet.com that “Probably!, Richard Kingson is doing well but time definitely calls for others to help him.“We do not seem to have very worthy substitutes for Kingson in the absence of his ability to play and so we need to hurry up to get people to come on board.”Nyantakyi admited that the Stromgodset shot-stopper had long been pencilled down to be a key substitute after several goalkeepers failed to give Kingson a run for his money.“This young man Kwarasey is one person who has been penciled down for this succession plan that we are putting in place and I think we have to quicken the process of getting him to play for Ghana,” Nyantakyi said.On whether jumping in to help quicken the process of the nationality switch passed as a vote of no confidence in the people who are usually tasked to discharge this mandate, the President added: “No, it doesn’t mean so.“It rather shows the level of seriousness attached to it. There is division of labour, every one does his work and as a manager or leader you supervise.“But when things are not going as expected you have to intervene first of all to find out what is going on and to understand what the problems and issues are and that’s exactly what I sought to do.”Source: Ghanasoccernet
