Thus far, he has held meetings with five players – captain Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Jeffrey Schlupp, Christian Atsu and striker Tariqe Fosu-Henry.
He is expected to visit Ghanaian players in Spain, Italy, Germany, France and other European countries before returning to Ghana.
Akonnor was appointed last month and has been tasked to win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon and also qualify the team to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
