Asante Kotoko midfielder, Richmond Lamptey, secures a coveted place in the Black Stars’ provisional 55-man squad for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Head coach Chris Hughton revealed the comprehensive list to the media on December 20, 2023, following its earlier submission to CAF.
Lamptey’s exceptional performance during Asante Kotoko’s resurgence in the Ghana Premier League contributes to his inclusion.
The former Inter Allies player, known for his midfield prowess, has notably provided four assists in ten league games, sparking debates about his potential impact on the tournament.
With the group stage opener against Cape Verde scheduled for January 14, 2024, Lamptey and the Black Stars will embark on their quest to secure the AFCON title, aiming to break a 42-year trophy drought since their last triumph in 1982.
