What I told everybody is I have to focus on playing for Jong Oranje. So, we have to do EUROS, and my focus is here. And so, I see it in the future. It is not my priority now.

Though Ghana is not in his immediate plans, Oduro mentioned he has always admired some of the country’s top football icons.

He shared:

I always liked the Ayew brothers. Also, Asamoah [Gyan] and also a few players.
