Agyei sure of making Ghana's Afcon squad

By Ameenu Shardow

Liberty Professionals goalkeeper Daniel Agyei remains confident of making Ghana’s squad for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 22-year-old is one of few local players expected to make the cut in the 23-man squad to be announced by Coach Goran Stevanovic in Accra on December 15.

And after deputizing Richard Kingson at last year’s World Cup in South Africa, Agyei says he will be shocked if he is dropped for the finals to be jointly hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

“In Ghana I am the best and everyone knows that so I don’t see why I won’t be in the squad,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

“I am very confident of my chances and even today I proved why I deserve to be there with a clean sheet against Hearts of Oak.”

Players, administrators and the general Ghanaian public are awaiting anxiously for the December 15 Press Conference at the Ghana FA Headquarters where Stevanovic is expected to name his squad for the Afcon.
