Former Ghana striker Joe Debrah wants Asamoah Gyan to be included in the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 36-year-old, who has scored 51 goals for Black Stars, has expressed his desire to play for Ghana at the World Cup in Qatar.
But Gyan has been ruled out by the majority of Ghanaians because of his fitness and ability to compete.
The former Sunderland man has been inactive for over a year and hasn’t played for the Black Stars since 2019.
But Debrah has jumped to Gyan’s defence, saying “For me, if Asamoah Gyan goes to the World Cup, I will be happy because we’ve had Roger Milla do the same. The name he bears is even dangerous but we don’t take things seriously in this country.
“If I was a coach, Asamoah Gyan would be in the team but Ghanaians will not acknowledge his efforts.
“Brazil’s Ronaldo became fat yet he was called up because his performance was top, even his name scares players. Asamoah Gyan would be the first player to lead the team,” he stated in an interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah.
Gyan is Africa's leading World Cup scorer, with six goals in three tournaments.
