Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan

I will continue to rely on ageing Gyan ... - Ghana coach Avram Grant
Ghana coach Avram Grant says he will continue to
depend on Asamoah Gyan in so far as the striker
remains fit.

Gyan, 30, remains the most reliable source of
goals for the Black Stars despite increasing
inching towards retirement.

The Shanghai SIPG ace is the all-time leading
scorer for the Ghana national team and remains a
highly influential figure both on and off the
field of play for the Black Stars.

Gyan has however clearly lost a significant chunk
of his pace even though his maturity in putting
away chances front of goal has statistically
improved in recent years.

There also remain a massive gap between the former
Sunderland hitman and his potential successors
with the likes of Jordan Ayew and Abdul Majeed
Waris not quite hitting the required level of
consistency.

And Grant says he will continue to rely heavily on
Gyan as far as he is able to contribute to the
side.

“Asamoah is a very good player and if he keeps
himself well he will be able to continue to
contribute to the team,” he said.

Asamoah Gyan who is the captain of the Black Stars
hopes to lead the side to first qualify and then
win the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in
Gabon.
