Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has explained how Felix Afena-Gyan can be effective in the Black Stars.
The 19-year-old scored his debut goal for the Black Stars against Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
It was his first goal in three games for the senior national football team.
However, in Ghana’s game against Central Africa Republic at the Estadio 11 De November in Luanda on Sunday, Afena-Gyan had a quite game as he failed to impress in the 1-1 draw.
Asamoah Gyan, who holds the record as the all-time leading top scorer in a tweet explained how Afena Gyan can perform playing for the Black Stars
“He is doing some good things upfront. His hold-up play is not bad. All the team needs to do is to have confidence in him and supply the balls anytime he makes a run through the channels. Striker gives up when he runs a lot and there is no supply. Midfielders have to take risk.”
