Cercle Brugge midfielder Lawrence Agyekum is determined to cement his place in the Black Stars after making an impressive start to his international career.
The 21-year-old made headlines during the Unity Cup last month, coming off the bench to score in Ghana’s 4-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place playoff.
He had earlier debuted in the Black Stars’ emphatic 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Agyekum expressed confidence in his abilities and a desire to build on his early promise.
“I wasn’t surprised at scoring against Trinidad and Tobago because I knew I had to score,” he said. “Now, I want to keep focusing on my development and be consistent at club level. If you don’t do well, it’s difficult to get a national team call-up.”
Agyekum recently sealed a permanent deal with Cercle Brugge but is already attracting attention from bigger European clubs, including Dutch giants Feyenoord and Ligue 1 side Strasbourg.
“Hopefully, if I get another call-up, I’ll still give 100% on the pitch ; just like I do for my club,” he added.
With talent, focus, and a hunger for more, Agyekum could be one of Ghana’s midfield stars to watch in the years ahead.
