Ghana defender Danny Pappoe says he is ready to fight for a place in the Black Satellites team after receiving a call-up for next month's FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey.
The 19 year old burly defender, who is captain of Chelsea reserve team, is one of the few foreign players invited by coach Sellas Tetteh for the tournament.
Pappoe in an exclusive interview with Joy Sports expressed delight with his first ever Ghana call-up for the Youth World Cup and is hoping to make an instant impact.
"I had a good season at Chelsea so when the invite came I was glad to get here, is one of the best feelings ever had after breaking into the Chelsea reserve team," said Pappoe
"For me to get a call up to the Ghana U20 team it was up there with one of the best feelings ever had in my football career.
"I'm looking forward to the World Cup because is every individual's dream to play in the World Cup, it doesn’t matter the age group so I’m really looking forward to it.''
