I am working on losing weight- Ex-Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan reacts to retirement reports

Published on: 18 August 2021

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan says he is not in a haste to retire from football. 

The Legon Cities striker admits he had a tough season since his return to the Ghana Premier League due to weight and fitness problem.

However, he is working on reducing his weight as he finds his way back to his best form despite claims of he is past his prime and needs to retire.

"I have not retired from football," Gyan told Kessben FM.

"There were some injuries last season, but I am not done playing football. I can wake up one day and announce my retirement from football but at the moment, I am active.

"People will criticise me but I am only hoping to get back to my normal form and weight but if I am not able to regain my form, then I will call it off. But at the moment, I am working on myself to lose my weight.

"I returned to Legon Cities and you could clearly see that things did not go as planned because I have 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."
