Former Feyenoord striker Bonaventure Kalou has paid tribute to ex-Ghana international Christian Gyan after he died at the age of just 43.
Gyan, who was born in Ghana tragically passed away from cancer.
He moved to Netherlands in the late 1990s to sign for Feyenoord, where he made 93 appearances and helped the club win the Eredivisie in 1999 and the UEFA Cup in 2002.
"Rest in peace my friend, you fought hard. My thoughts go to Anita and the children," Kalou wrote on Instagram.
Gyan remained with Feyenoord until 2008 when he signed for Finnish side TPS.
He was part of the excellent Ghana U17 squad that conquered the world in the 1990s.
He went on to play for several clubs in Europe and made over 20 appearances for the senior national team of Ghana, the Black Stars.
Besides Feyenoord, Christian Gyan also played for clubs including TPS, RoPS, Wrexham, and Excelsior.
