Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has said he is keen on aiding Ghana to win her fifth AFCON trophy.

According to him, he will be the happiest man on earth if Ghana wins the AFCON title. He made this revelation in TV3's Warm Up Plus.

For that dream to be a reality, Partey and Black Stars would need to play above themselves in next year's AFCON in Cameroon.

The Black Stars are set to compete at the continental showpiece for the 23rd time in history when the best 24 nations in Africa convene in Cameroon

The tournament is scheduled to kick start from January 9 – February 6, 2022

Ghana won the last of their four titles 39 years ago in Libya. Since then, the nation has endured a series of near misses, reaching the final on three occasions - Senegal 1992, Angola 2010 and Equatorial Guinea 2015.

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo, has launched a national agenda to end the nation's AFCON drought next year.

The continental title is one of three objectives handed to Akonnor, the second and third being qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and going on to reach the semi-finals of the competition.

“The target is to bring the cup home by winning the Afcon 2022. We must go a step further than our second-placed finishes in 1992, 2010 and 2015 and end the 40-year drought for a title,” Akufo-Addo said on Monday.

At Ghana's last AFCON campaign in 2019, they were eliminated at the Round of 16 stage.
