Retirement

Gyan says his professional career is not over as he seeks to regain health and form. The 36-year-old played the 2020-21 season with Ghana Premier League (GPL) club Legon Cities, joining as a free agent last November. Many had assumed Gyan would retire now that the GPL is over, but the former Black Stars captain insists he is still hungry to play.

Speaking to Ghana's Kessben FM, Gyan explained his desire to continue with football saying, “there were some injuries last season, but I am not done playing football. Then, of course, I can wake up one day and announce my retirement from football, but at the moment, I am active.

“People will criticize me, but I am only hoping to get back to my usual form and weight. But if I cannot regain my form, I will call it off, but I am now working on myself to lose weight."

He went on to say, “I returned to Legon Cities, and you could see that things did not go as planned because I have been putting on weight, but I am giving myself another season, and I trust I will be back to my form, and if I am on my form, I don’t think I will be overlooked, but for retirement, not now.”

Since the 2019 AFCON, Gyan has not featured for Ghana's Black Stars. Sunderland, Udinese, Rennes, Al Ain, Shanghai SIPG, and Kayserispor are among the many clubs he has played for.
