Like a cross between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Nicklas Bendtner, Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan is very
fond of his own abilities. There were questions as to whether he would play in Ghana's African Cup
of Nations match against Mali after sustaining an injury in training on Thursday, but he did start
and scored off a free kick in his side's 2-0 win.
I stumbled across this story when catching up on all the latest football news and thought i
would highlight here not because it is one of the biggest transfer stories on this last day of the
transfer window, but rather because of its almost near obscurity.
Frankly, speaking , i thought Toni had retired from the game so imagine my shock when i read
that he had actually been with Juventus all this time.
Asamoah Gyan's weekend was full of surprises for Ghanian soccer fans. The striker wrote a letter
to the country's football association (FA) informing the national team's leadership that he would
be retiring "indefinitely" from international play.
The 26-year-old has claimed that he has not fully recovered psychologically from missing a
crucial penalty in the 120th minute of Ghana's loss to Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup
Quarterfinals.
