Arsenal goalkeeper Khari Ranson has disclosed his African heritage, revealing that his father is Nigerian and his mother is Ghanaian.
This unique blend of West African roots provides Ranson the opportunity to represent either Nigeria or Ghana on the international stage.
In an interview with Arsenal’s official website, Ranson shared, “My mum is from Ghana and my dad is from Nigeria, which leads to a lot of friendly debate about which jollof rice is better!
Personally I side with Nigerian jollof. I have two younger siblings: a brother and a sister.”
At just 17 years old, Ranson has demonstrated significant potential as a goalkeeper.
His strong reflexes, composure under pressure, and versatility make him a valuable prospect for any national team he may choose to represent in the future.
While Ranson currently represents England at the youth level, his eligibility for both Nigeria and Ghana opens up exciting possibilities for his international career.
For now, the future looks incredibly bright for this young goalkeeper, who carries deep African roots and a burgeoning reputation in global football.
