  • Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has lauded Kevin-Prince Boateng for giving his best during his time with the national team
  • Kevin-Prince Boateng, born in Germany, decided to represent the Black Stars of Ghana in 2009 after ditching his country of birth
  • Kevin-Prince Boateng and Asamoah Gyan were part of Ghana's team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and in Brazil 2014

Legendary Ghanaian forward, Asamoah Gyan, has praised ex-teammate Kevin-Prince Boateng for giving his best anytime he wore the Black Stars jersey.

Kevin-Prince Boateng was the darling boy of the national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa as the Black Stars reached the quarter-finals.

Despite being born in Germany, Boateng decided to play for Ghana at international level, making 15 appearances and scoring two goals.

“Sometimes we should forget about everything. Kevin-Prince Boateng when he came, it was a whole lot but he was able to deliver,” Gyan said as quoted by Pulse.

Asamoah Gyan has told Europe-born players ready to play for Ghana to pick a leaf from Kevin-Prince Boateng's book.

“Football-wise, those who have come in are great players, Tariq Lamptey and those guys are very good players and they can also put something into the national team," added Asamoah Gyan.
“My advice to those guys is, we are here to support them but my question is what next?
“They should not come and play because of the world cup and afterwards, they decide to decline subsequent invitations. Once you have naturalized for Ghana, you should be fully committed to the national team.
“After the [world cup], they should still be available because this is a national team which does not engage in one tournament.”

Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Stephan Ambrosius and Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer have all switched nationalities to play for Ghana.

The 35-year-old signed a deal which will keep him at the Berlin Olympic Stadium until 2023 following his inspiring role last season.

And to celebrate the moment, Boateng has partnered a Hakiki kiosk to distribute 2,023 Kebabs in the German capital to Hertha Berlin fans.
