Former Ghana Football Association(GFA) Chairman, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has backed Asamoah Gyan to join the Ghana team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The 36-year-old striker has signaled his intent to be among Ghana's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup which has drawn a lot of comments.

Gyan has not been playing active football since departing Legon Cities in April 2021 but claims that he has not retired from active football.

Asamoah Gyan during his heydays played for the likes of Udinese, Rennes, Al Ain, and Shanghai SIPG among other clubs in a career spanning more than two decades.

“I still insist we take Asamoah Gyan to the World Cup. We could give him 10 to 15 minutes of playing time each time because I think he can change games. He is one person I can trust,” Dr. Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe told Angel TV in an interview.

He is the African player with the most goals at the FIFA World Cup having scored six goals in three appearances at the Mundial.

Asamoah Gyan has scored 51 goals for Ghana in 109 appearances.
