Youngster Kingsley Schlindler
By Ameenu Shardow
Youngster Kingsley Schlindler has pledged his international future to Ghana even if it means playing for the junior teams.
The 19-year-old currently plays for the junior team of German club Hannover 96 after stints with Concordia Hamburg.
And though with a chance to play for Germany, Schlindler insists he prefers to play for Ghana.
“I will play for Ghana. It is my motherland and I love to play more for Ghana than for Germany,” he told Accra-based Radio XYZ.
“If I get the chance I would like to play for Ghana U-20 not for Germany.”
The German-born to Ghanaian parents however admits he will need a couple of years before breaking into Hannover’s first team.
“I think my chances to play in Bundeliga now will be better elsewhere but at Hannover maybe in one or two years.”
Schlindler hopes to to join Quicny Owusu-Abeyie and Kevin-Prince Boateng as players with dual nationalities to have played for Ghana.

If both parents are Ghanaians, then why has he got a German surname, Schlinder? Is he not happy with a Ghanaian surname? His name doesn’t represent Ghanaian?
Big Fooool. Make more sensible comments.
Not every Ghanaian is called Boateng or Asamoah. There millions of Ghanaians with different surnames.
Some of us have two names- native name and English name.
Assisi fuk off
dont mind asisi i think he jux jealous
dont mind asisi i think he’s jux jealous
Welcome, but your name is quite a wholesome. Perform well & you will be called up. vaam
And that is the bottom line, Fo Kwadzo has spoken “Perform and you will be called up”, if you are a striker the better.
Assisi,u are really fool to the extend that u dont need any discription,is your fucking name ‘Assisi’represent Ghanaian?names dosen’t matter,he can even name himself ‘Adolf Hitler’but still a Ghanaian,moron
Which position does he play.
Ricky this guy looks like a striker to me, I just googled and he is a Right Midfielder.
fo kwadwo i surport u-just justify
i guess his father married a german Lady before so its normal
that kingsley has got that Name.
before i married my german wife the registral general asked me whether i wanna take my wifes Name.
in germany its normal to take ur wifes Name so i guess kingsley father married a german lady before marrying kingsley’s mother.
All of u are stupid comment leave the boy alone to play for Ghana his motherland
Good news. Welcome to Black Stars
Who is that assisi? So ppl still doesn’t know the modern world we live in and what goes around? No wonder you were born in 1910. Everything seem to be old and stand still for you. Please learn and read more and you shall know more.
we should leave the boy and think about his future.if he is saying he want to play for ghana then he is welcome,but he must be a stricker.ghana need a stricker like drogba.
