The highly-rated midfielder says he is determined to make an instant impact in the team.

“It’s the dream of every player to play for the national team and so I am obviously a happy man,” Adjei said

“I have always been a firm believer of the fact that, there is always time for everyone  at some point in his or her career.

“There is no doubt in my mind that my performances for Kotoko on the pitch have spoken for itself.

“I must say that this call-up is long overdue but all the same I am ready to fight for a place in the team."

Adjei must work his sucks off to fight for place in a star-studded midfield which comprises of experience old hands Anthony Annan, Kwadwo Asamoah, Emmanuel Agyemang –Badu and Andre Ayew.
