You do realise that the club were fully aware of his nationality and the timing of AFCON when they decided to sign him?
It's Africa's equivalent of the Euros. It's a big honour to play in it for your country, especially when you're one of the biggest names.
Yes, it'll be good to have him...
There's nothing better than representing your country in a major tournament.
Just remember how we felt when Dunk was capped, then White made the Euro squad.
I'm proud that Albion have players representing many countries, not just the European ones.
