Countryman Songo thinks Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad has what it takes to be Ghana’s starting goalkeeper in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Jojo Wallacott and Richard Ofori, the Black Stars’ first and second-choice goalkeepers, respectively, have both been ruled out with injuries and will thus miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The void created by Jojo Wallacott and Richard Ofori was filled by Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, Ibrahim Danlad and FC Eupen goalkeeper, Abdul Manaf Nurduden who joined Lawrence Ati Zigi for the 2022 Mundial.

Countryman Songo, a member of Asante Kotoko’s communications staff, recently asked coach Otto Addo to start Ibrahim Danlad in the Black Stars’ next friendly match against Switzerland so that Danlad can show he deserves to hold the position.
“We have seen Lawrence Ati Zigi and Nurudeen Manaf in the Black Stars and they haven’t performed to the expectations of Ghanaians and now we have a new kid on the block who has gone through the ranks. Give Danlad an opportunity against Switzerland to prove himself before the World Cup

“Danlad has what it takes because that boy isn’t afraid of anything so don’t be deceived by the fact that he is a local player. He should be our number goalkeeper at the World Cup,” Countryman Songo said in a panel discussion on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo show on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
