Emmanuel Armah known in football circles as Armah Senegal has slammed those calling for Asamoah Gyan's return to the Black Stars.
In an interview with BBC, Asamoah Gyan expressed interest in returning to the Black Stars. This sparked a lot of debate among football fans and pundits.
Some football personalities in Ghana have stated that Asamoah Gyan should be added to the squad for the 2022 World Cup.
The former Sunderland attacker later clarified that his comment was taken out of context.
Reacting to the hot debate going on Armah Senegal slammed those calling for Baby Jet's return calling them jokers and gossipers.
“I don’t follow certain things. Those who are talking about it I want to tell them that football is based on your performance. We will use your performance to call you before you play the national team. The players that they’ve mentioned their names to rejoin the Black Stars how many league matches have they played? Which team are they playing now? They are just joking. To be able to play football your performance must be good. You have to perform at the club level. That will create the chance for you to be called. They are just joking and gossiping. That’s what I can say," he told Ghanasportspage.com.
“Which team Asamoah Gyan is playing now? Give me the answer. Then I can also come and play. Let’s put the jokes aside and gather the players for them to be serious. God will bless you when you are serious. If you are not serious God will not bless you. We have to stop making noise and stop the politics in football. Football is not politics. It is a game of passion. We should not envy the players who are performing but we should rather invite those who are performing in their various leagues. In the final squad, some will make it and others will be dropped,”
