Asamoah Gyan appears to have performed a U-turn regarding his ambition to make the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The former Sunderland in two recent interviews with BBC and Dentaa stated his desire to make one final appearance with the national team at the global showpiece.
Asamoah Gyan in an interview with BBC in August said that “The World Cup is every footballer’s dream. I think I’ve got a bit of energy left in me to prove myself once again.”
However, Gyan has backtracked on his words ; “I never said I will play for the Black Stars. I was misquoted. But if the people need me and there’s any motivation why not I can risk and come,” he said in an interview with Angel Sports.
Asamoah Gyan is Ghana’s all-time leading goal scorer with 51 goals in 109 appearances.
The former Black Stars captain has played in three World Cup tournaments in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
