Black Stars forward Kamaldeen Sulemana has pledged to make Ghana proud after helping the national team secure qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
The in-form Atalanta Bergamo star scored his first senior goal for the Black Stars after many attempts in the thumping 5-0 victory over the Central African Republic.
The West Africans sealed their spot in style with a 1-0 home win over Comoros to collect 25 from 30 points in Group I.
Although Sulemana was an unused substitute in the final game, the 23-year-old shared his excitement, posting on social media: "We pledge ourselves in all things to uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. So help us God."
Sulemana made five appearances in the qualifiers after missing most of the early stages of the series due to injury.
Meanwhile, he is expected to make the team for the Asian tour next month as Ghana begin early preparations for the World Cup.
The former Southampton player has rediscovered his form and has been flying in Italy, scoring two goals in seven league games.
His stunner against Italian giants Juventus was voted Goal of the Month at Atalanta.
