Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has charged the technical team of the Black Stars with calling up players who can help the team, regardless of where they are playing.
In an interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio, the former Black Stars captain argued that players can still contribute even if they play in inferior leagues.
Gyan insisted that regardless of where the players are playing, players who can significantly contribute to the Black Stars’ success must be invited.
“It’s something that happens everywhere all over the world. We’ve had a few good players who come in, including even our current head coach Otto Addo when he was playing, and serve their country well,” the 36-year-old said.
“I think sometimes we should forget about where they play. When you feel a player is good, and he can help the national team, why not?” he added.
Gyan is the country’s all top goal scorer with 51 goals having played in 2006, 2010, and 2014 World Cups in Germany, South Africa, and Brazil respectively.
He has over 200 club goals, having represented the likes of Udinese, Sunderland, Rennes and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates.
