Ghanaian midfielder Kofi denies move to switch nationality to play for Denmark

Ghanaian midfielder Enoch Adu Kofi
Ghanaian midfielder Enoch Adu Kofi has rubbished reports he is being courted to play for the Danish national team.
Reports have emerged that the 22-year-old will be approached by the Danish FA with the offer following Kofi’s continued Black Stars snub.
But the ex Ghana youth international who has seen a surge in his form since joining Nordsjaelland in 2010 says the reports are false.
“There have been absolutely no contact with any official of the Danish FA so I honestly don’t know where these reports are coming from,” he told MTNFootball.com.
“I have not even spent enough years in Denmark for me to obtain citizenship to subsequently play for their (Danish) national team.
“I however have no intentions whatsoever to play for Denmark. I want to play for the Black Stars and I have never hidden that.
“It will be a dream come true to represent my nation as a Ghanaian and that is where my focus is.”
Adu Kofi has grown to be an integral for Nordsjaelland since arriving from French club OGC Nice.
He helped the side with their first Premier League title last season and is currently one of the main features of the Farum-based side in this year’s UEFA Champions League.
The ex Liberty Professionals player represented Ghana at the 2007 World U-17 Championships in the Korea Republic – where he helped the Black Starlets to the semi finals.

This dude is ineligible to play for the Danish national team. FIFA rules states that you must eligible to play for the country you want to switch allegiance to at the time you were playing for the youth side of your current country that is why Arteta (Arsenal) cant play for England. so please GSN, ur PR wont work this time. False alarm!!!
This is not about whether he can play or not, the whole rumour is not true that is all we are saying
And what stops us from giving him a cap with the Black stars?Afterall he is playing in the UEFA champs league.
i don’t know why we must understand this news.enock is seal by gh period.
ABEYIE PLAYED FOR THE YOUTH SIDE OF THE DUTCH N LATER SWITCEHD TO PLAY FOR GH. ADU KOFI I BELIEVE CAN DO THE SAME, IF IM NOT MISTAKEN. CAN HE EVEN SPEAK DUTCH? AA WILL NOT CALL HIM
Language is being learnt if you care to know, when he went to france he was not speaking french but now he can speak and write as well so dnt even go there. And they are not saying this because he wants a call u, all that we want to clear is to let pple know that the rumour is not true
@ GH FUO THINK BIG, Owusu Abeyie cd have chosen to play for Ghana the first time he put on a Dutch jersey but we cant say the same for Adu Kofi. His only Danish connection is because of football whereas Abeyie was born in Holland to Ghanaian parents. Adu doesnt have a Danish grandfather hence his intelligibility. You can learn more on the FIFA website. God BLess Ghana!
