Meanwhile, Asamoah Gyan has noted that he believes the time has come for legends in sports to come together and use their influence, network and resources to attract investors into the country to make a meaningful impact on our youth in the sports fraternity.
In a post on his page on X, the Black Stars all-time highest goal scorer said, “I strongly believe that engaging our youth and grooming them through these avenues can get them to be more focused, make sports more fun and attractive and eventually bring us together once again just as it use to be in past. I have started this journey and I humbly invite all my colleagues to join in this cause in reclaiming our football days.”
