Former Ghana International. Yaw Preko says that legendary Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has left a big vacuum that strikers in the national team are struggling to fill.

Ghana has struggled for a consistent source of goals from a particular striker the last few years with Jordan Ayew, Caleb Ekuban,Joel Fameyeh, Kwame Opoku being handed the chance to impress.

The Black Stars have scored just a solitary goal in their last four matches something which has become a source of great worry for many Ghanaians.

Yaw Preko believes that former Asante Kotoko striker Kwame Opoku and former King Faisal striker Kwame Peprah can fill the void left by Ghana's all time top scorer Asamoah Gyan.

“Asamoah Gyan’s exit has created a void at Ghana Black Stars and difficult for our attackers to score”.

He recommended Kwame Peprah and Kwame Opoku to take up the mantle from the all-time leading top scorer for the Black Stars in the coming years.

“I believe strongly that former attacker of King Faisal Football Club and Asante Kotoko Sporting Club respectively, Kwame Peprah and Kwame Opoku are the best pair to fill the goal-scoring void in the National team”, he added.

The 35-year-old is currently the all-time leading top scorer for the senior national team with 51 goals.

The former Sunderland striker also holds the record as the African player with the most goals at the FIFA World Cup with six goals.

Asamoah Gyan who last played for the Black Stars at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt is without a club after leaving Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities at the end of the 2020/21 season.
