• Asamoah Gyan has opened up on his future in football
• The former Ghana captain has been inactive for two years
• Gyan failed to make the Ghana team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup

Ghana legend, Asamoah Gyan has revealed that he is still contemplating his retirement despite being inactive for over two years.

The 37-year-old last played for Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities in 2021 and is currently unattached.

However, Gyan is considering a last dance before calling time on a glittering career spanning two decades.

“If you love doing something, it’s difficult to stop so I’m still behind the scenes contemplating on either continuing to play or ending it,” Gyan told Asempa FM, as quoted by Pulse.

“I still feel young but Ghanaians always want to see you quit when you stay long in the game. It is for this reason that certain players like Richard Kingson and co retired unwillingly and that is what really costs us.”

Gyan believes the national team needs players with his experience.

He continued: “That is when you see people missing the quality in you and wished you were still in the team. Meanwhile, you were least appreciated when you were active.

“But I am not really moved because people tend to override on your popularity to make a name with such comments.”

The former Sunderland striker remains Ghana's all-time leading scorer, with 51 goals from 109 appearances, as reported by Transfermarkt.
