Ghana Football Association Deputy General Secretary, Alex Asante, has levelled Asamoah Gyan as the “most committed player” to have played for the Black Stars team.
Gyan is Ghana’s all time top-scorer with 51 goals from 109 appearances in his international career spanning 16 years.
“Asamoah Gyan for me is the most committed player I have ever seen playing for the Black Stars,” Mr Asante told Asempa FM.
“There was a game that Black Stars was supposed to play. Gyan trained with the team and after arriving at the team hotel, his knee suddenly got swollen and the entire players were surprised.
“Dr Baba was the team doctor at the time and he took Gyan to a room and we all could hear Gyan screaming and crying because the team doctors were trying to get him fit for the game and despite the pain, Gyan played the game even though he was not fit.
“Gyan’s commitment and dedication to the national team is something that makes him and for me, he is the most committed player ever to play for the national team,” he added.
He currently holds Uefa B coaching license
