The Athletic Bilbao forward was born in Spain to Ghanaian immigrants and said last year that he feels more Spanish, despite his love for Ghana.
However, a lot has changed since the interview with The Guardian, with Williams now in favour of donning the Ghana colours.
He is currently on vacation in Ghana with his younger brother Nico Williams, who also plays for Bilbao.

Nico has yet to decide his international future, but GFA officials are optimistic he would also play for Ghana.
Inaki, 27, initially committed to Spain and appeared in one friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016.
He previously played for Spain’s U-21 team, scoring three goals in 17 games.
Williams has remarkably gone six years without missing a La Liga match.
He had eight goals and five assists in the 2021-22 season.
