Arsenal’s Ghanaian-born striker Zak Ansah has been handed a call to play for England in a four-day tournament in Lincolnshire which starts on Wednesday according to the club's website.

Ansah, 15, has been a subject of controversy at the North London side after he declared his support for rivals Manchester United.

But that not withstanding, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made good remarks about the lethal forward and has likened him to Wayne Rooney of Manchester United.

The Young Lions coach John Peacock picked the 170cm-tall youngster to be a component of his attack that face Australia, Portugal and Turkey in the tournament.

Police in Berekum say they cannot provide security at the Golden City Park for the new  Ghana Premier League season due to the irate behaviour of fans of home team Arsenals. 

The Golden City ground as been an intimidated venue for many teams in the top flight with fans and officials of visiting teams being subjected to harsh treatments.

ACP Gyinaye confirmed to an Accra-based radio station Asempa FM the police will withdraw their service.
“From last season when the other ACP was around, there were reports about the behaviour of fans at the stadium. We talked to the club to talk to their supporters but nothing has changed since then and we are not happy about this.

“We think they are not making our job smooth so we are calling time on our work at the stadium until further notice.”

However, management of Arsenals have rubbished the claims and described it as untrue.

Former Ghana star Mohammed Ahmed Polo has told Standardcommunications.blogspot.com that he is deeply worried by the performance of the Black Stars in their recent friendly games.

Polo, one of Ghana’s soccer legends tagged dribbling magician is peeved after watching the Stars' poor show in the Soccer City Stadium yesterday in an international friendly.

“You see, it is very disturbing to watch how players played in yesterday’s game. They played as if there was nothing at stake. But the FIFA ranking will be in next month and we will be pushed down the ladder, considering the fact that a team below us has beaten us.”

“For sometime now, if you look at friendly games that we have been playing, it is very pathetic. Before the World Cup, we did a similar thing against Bosnia, Holland and even Latvia giving very little hope that we can perform at the World Cup. But we did well.”

“It high time we lifted up our performance in friendly. The South Africans took the game like it was the World Cup finals and you can see we were not serious.”

“We must approach each and every game whether friendly or competitive to prove our credentials.”
