Legendary striker Asamoah Gyan's desire to Black Stars for the 2022 World Cup has not been discussed by the technical team, according to George Boateng.
Boateng, who is Black Stars assistant coach, said the technical team won't make a public statement until after speaking with the player and has nothing to say publicly about the hot topic.
Gyan, who has scored 51 goals for Ghana, disclosed last month that he has unfinished business with the national team and is hoping for a return ahead of the Qatar tournament.
The 36-year-old has not played for the Black Stars since 2019, and his career has stagnated since returning to Ghana. He hasn't played a competitive match in over a year.
“Out of respect for the player [Gyan] and a friend of mine as a person, I will prefer to discuss this issue with him in person, rather than sharing with the outside world,” Boateng said, as quoted by Citisportsonline.
“We haven’t spoken to Gyan yet so we will not disclose anything until we have spoken to the player himself.”
“We as staff have so much respect for Gyan. As a player and person, he is a very good friend of mine and what he has done for Ghana is amazing. Top goal scorer, six goals at the World Cup, it’s amazing. You can only applaud his achievement”.
