Ex-Ghana player Ibrahim Tanko has added his voice to calls that Andre Ayew should be made skipper of the Black Stars. There have been calls that the Swansea City star should be handed the captaincy following Asamoah Gyan’s recent reoccurring injuries.
Gyan has missed Ghana’s last two competitive matches due to injuries and there are fears he might not be ready for next month’s final Nations Cup qualifier against Rwanda at home.
Ibrahim Tanko who is back in the country after serving as an assistant coach the Cameroon National wants Andre to step in if Gyan’s condition does not change.
“I think the captaincy should be handed to Dede. Gyan has been injured for sometime and if he is unable to make it to the AFCON then I think the Dede should be named as captain,” he told Starr FM.
“The Ghana Football Association and Avram Grant must meet with Gyan and explain to him. Gyan is the General Captain and the team but the injuries have been a problem.”
