Tanzania-based Razak Abalora has vowed to nail down the number one goalkeeping spot for Black Stars after earning his first call-up to the senior national team.
The former WAFA SC is among the seven players coach Kwesi Appiah has handed them their debut call-ups as Ghana prepares to take on South Africa and São Tomé and PrÃncipe on November 14 and 18 respectively for the AFCON 2021 qualifiers.
He will be battling with Maritzburg's Richard Ofori and Asante Kotoko's Felix Annan for a starting berth in the Black Stars' doubleheader slated for next month.
Despite the stiff competition at the goalkeeping department, Abalora welcomes the challenged and says he is the best among them.
