Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has talked openly about his friendship with Andre Ayew, who replaced him as leader of the national team.
The idea that the two footballers are engaged in a conflict has severely damaged their once-warm connection.
But according Gyan, Andre Ayew is not a close friend of his but they get along well despite not having spoken since the last time he played for the Black Stars.
“Andre (Ayew) is not my friend but a teammate, I have my own friends that we vibe and all that. I must confess that I have a good relationship with him, we sometimes talk about boxing matches but he is not that my close friend. We have not talked to each other since my absence from the Black Stars”, Gyan said in an interview on Wontumi Radio/TV in Kumasi.
Asked whether he is ready to play for Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Gyan who is currently 36-year old said that, “I will have to access myself first whether I’m ready for that challenge before accepting to play for the Black Stars. I have not decided on for now that but if I access myself and am ready, I will return to the national team and play again.”
Asamoah Gyan last featured for Ghana at the 2019 African Cup of Nations where the Black Stars was eliminated from the knockout stage of the tournament.
He has been unattached since leaving Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities after the 2020/21 league season.
