Dutch-born Ghanaians Jeremie Frimpong and Brian Brobbey have been included in Holland 39-man preliminary squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The addition of the duo could end Ghana’s pursuit of Frimpong and Brobbey with less than a month to the global showpiece.
Frimpong has been in incredible form for Bayer Leverkusen this season, scoring four times and providing two assists as a defender while Brobbey has been explosive for Ajax in the ongoing campaign.
Holland manager Luis Van Gaal will name his final squad for the tournament before November 15, and should he include the youngsters, that will be the end for possible Ghana switch.
