NorthEast United FC have signed Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan for the 2019-20 ISL season. Gyan, Ghana’s all-time leading scorer with 51 goals, will join NorthEast on the back of their most successful season, where they reached the play-offs for the very first time.
Gyan, 33, rose to fame with his performances on the international stage, particularly during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where his three goals helped Ghana to the quarterfinals, the team’s best ever finish; he was eventually…
Ghana have officially named Andrew Ayew the team’s captain for the Africa Cup of Nations, with the Fenerbahce loanee replacing Asamoah Gyan as skipper.
Gyan, who retired last week after being told he would not be the captain for the tournament, and then unretired at the behest of the country’s president, has been given the title of ‘general captain’.
A statement on the Ghana FA website read: “This follows a meeting with the top brass of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Normalization Committee…

Asamoah Gyan has made himself available for selection at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Asamoah Gyan has performed a U-turn and come out of international retirement at the request of the Ghana president.
The former Sunderland forward had said he wou…
Ghana’s all-time leading goal-scorer Asamoah Gyan announced his international retirement on Monday, less than a month before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations.
The news followed shortly after he was removed as the national team’s captain, a move more official than a shock as he’d not featured for the side in years.
Striker Gyan had not featured for the side since September 2017 after persistent injury problems, and has also battled for game-time with his Turkish club Kayserispor.
Despite this,…
Only two things prevent Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan from being considered one of the great African players of his generation.
The first is his decision to withdraw his talents from the world’s biggest leagues at the age of 25, launching a seven-year sojourn in the lucrative United Arab Emirates and Chinese competitions, before a move to Turkey in 2017.
While these peak years were trophy-laden — Gyan won three UAE Pro League titles, the Arab Gulf Super Cup in 2012 and the UAE President’s Cup two…
Kwesi Appiah’s latest Ghana squad has highlighted the severity of one of the Black Stars’ longest standing problems – the dearth of quality strikers coming through.
There are few major talking points from Appiah’s squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia on November 18, although a lack of in-form strikers is an exception.
Jordan Ayew is making a return to the international fold after a year in the cold on the back of arguably his trickiest season in English football.

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah is hosting a returnees party in Kumasi next week, but can he justify his change in approach?
Rocked by defeat by Kenya last month, a loss that triggered fresh questions over his decisions in charge of the Black Stars, th…
Ghana’s record goalscorer Asamoah Gyan will return to international duty for the Black Stars in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone, but there are no places in the squad for the Ayew brothers.
Gyan is part of a 23-man squad released by Ghana boss Kwesi Appiah for the mid-October games, despite a season spent largely on the bench at Turkish side Kayserispor. He has played just 35 minutes of club football this season but is one of four forwards named in the side….
In Kwesi Appiah’s first spell as Black Stars coach, he was nicknamed the Silent Assassin by the players for his ruthlessness. In this second spell as Ghana boss he seems to have lost none of those instincts
Appiah’s latest squad for a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya suggested he has not lost the ball for big calls.
It’s also a squad that could signal the beginning of the end for national legend Asamoah Gyan and throws the future of a famous pair, the Ayew brothers, in further…
