The general secretary of the Ghana Football Association, attorney Prosper Harrison Addo, says Asamoah Gyan wants to be called up to the Black Stars out of merit rather than as a favor for his past exploits.
The FA official reacted to the news and suggestions that the football association should start thinking about a suitable farewell for a player many consider one of the best the country has produced.
But according to Prosper Addo, thinking of a farewell for a player who has not officially retired is not appropriate, adding that the association’s leadership will not cause Asamoah Gyan to retire from the national team.
Asamoah Gyan made his debut for the Black Stars in 2003 and has scored 51 goals in 109 appearances to emerge as the national team’s all-time leading scorer.
Gyan, who before the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations was stripped of the Black Stars captaincy and handed over to Andre Dede Ayew, has yet to return to the team after the continental test in Egypt.
CK Akonnor, who is the current coach of the Black Stars, has kept Andre Dede Ayew as captain and has yet to invite Asamoah Gyan to an international assignment despite having named two Ghanaian teams twice.
This has cast many doubts about Gyan’s future on the team and people, including former players, have already started asking him to retire from the team, as the writing on the wall is clear for all to see.
Responding to concerns raised about Asamoah Gyan’s future at the Black Stars, attorney Prosper Harrison Addo in an interview with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM said the latter knows he will be called back to the team when he starts playing. regular club football.
“Gyan knows himself, he knows that when he’s fit he can play. Rather, we should applaud what he has said that he does not want favors but wants to be called on merits ”.
“Assuming Gyan is back in shape, joins a club and is scoring goals, the coach can call him on merit. He has not retired and, therefore, it will be very bad if an official of the FA or an association forces him to withdraw ”, he concluded.
