Empoli star Afriyie Acquah has urged Ghana to guard against complacency despite being handed a fair group following the draw for this years’ Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars have been pooled in Group F alongside defending champions Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau and Benin.

”It’s always difficult when you play against teams like Guinea Bissau and Benin because you don’t know what they’ve got up their sleeves. But I’m confident we can qualify out of the group,” Acquah told FootballItalia.com

”Winning the AFCON is our major aim and we always discuss it amongst ourselves when on national duty.

The defensive midfielder is seeking to play in his third Africa Cup of Nations after impressing on his debut in Equatorial Guinea [2015] where Ghana won silver.

”Anytime I’m given the opportunity to play for my country, I give my all. But I believe the Coach knows best when it comes who deserves a call-up.”
