German-Born Schlindler Wants To Play For Ghana

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.
