Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known as Stonebwoy, says that Ghanaians haven’t celebrated Asamah Gyan enough for his achievements.
Gyan, who is without a club is bidding to make a shock return to the international fold as he eyes a spot in Ghana's squad for the global showpiece.
The 36-year-old last played for the Black Stars in the 2019 AFCON tournament in Egypt and last featured actively in the 2020/21 season for Ghana Premier League side, Legon Cities where he made just five appearances and failed to score.
"What Asamoah Gyan said is true," Stonebwoy stated in an interview with Accra-based Hitz FM.
"I think we can do better at celebrating people who have worked so hard to put Ghana on the map. It’s really important that we have to just deliberately focus on making sure that we sing people’s praise and give them the flowers they deserve.
"It’s not going to start in Asamoah Gyan’s time only – people before him who have done well for the country deserve to be celebrated too. It’s a mindset we need to adopt."
Gyan is the all-time leading goalscorer of Ghana, with 51 goals. With 6 goals, Gyan is the top African goalscorer in the history of the World Cup.
He has also represented Ghana at the 2004 Summer Olympics and in seven Africa Cup of Nations in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019, helping them finish in third-place in 2008 and runner-up in 2010 and 2015.
Ghana have been placed in Group H of the World Cup with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
