Asamoah-Gyan, tipped for Player of the Year

Nyantakyi tips Asamoah Gyan Player of the Year Award
Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi has tipped Asamoah
Gyan to end the year on a high by winning the 2011
African Footballer of the Year. The star striker
is among seven nominees shortlisted for the top
individual award on the continent which also
includes compatriots Andre Ayew and Kevin Prince
Boateng.

Ivorian trio Didier Drogba, Yahaya Toure and
Gervinho alongside four-time winner Samuel Eto
Fils are also in the frame for the top-notch
award.

But the Caf Executive Committee member believes
the Al Ain attacker has done enough to win the
award. “If you look at the list, it is quite
competitive and all of them deserve to be in there
but Gyan in my opinion looks the likely candidate
for the award” “Andre Ayew also did very well
and he also has chance.”

The list will be pruned down to three before the
winner is announced in Ghana’s capital of Accra
on December 22.
