Great Olympics midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has disclosed that former Sunderland ace Asamoah Gyan is Ghana’s best striker of all time.
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.
“I will pick Asamoah Gyan as the best striker ever because he is the one I played with,” Agyemang-Badu told Sports Obama TV.
“We didn’t watch most of the senior players, but at least I have read about them and what they did in the game, but I think Gyan is the best ever.”
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.
Ghana have been placed in Group H of the World Cup with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
