Black Stars assistant coach, George Boateng has disclosed the technical team has not held talks with Asamoah Gyan about his desire to make a return to the national team.
The all-time top scorer last month reiterated his desire to participate in the upcoming World Cup despite not having played for the Black Stars in over three years and not being active in over a year due to injuries.
But according to the former Aston Villa U-23 coach, the technical team won’t make a public statement until after speaking with the player.
“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”.
