“Black Stars Will Never Have A Striker Like Asamoah Gyan” – Christian Atsu

Ghanaians should stop comparing current Black Stars strikers to Asamoah Gyan, according to Ghanaian winger, Christian Atsu. With 51 goals for the senior men's national team, Asamoah Gyan, who led the Black Stars, is the highest scorer.

As a result, Atsu has come to the strikers' defense, stating that attention should be paid to the new players who are emerging now rather than comparing them to their predecessors.

In an interview with 3Sports, the 29-year-old winger thinks Ghanaians should encourage the Black Stars' current strikers rather than looking back at what has transpired in the past.

“You can talk about goal scoring, which is important, but you will never have someone like Asamoah Gyan.” “So we should just focus on what we have now, the strikers we have now and try to encourage them because they are young players.” “But no one should compare the strikers we have now to Asamoah Gyan, because that is incorrect.”

Gyan's scoring ability has seen him top the African scoring statistics in the senior men's FIFA World Cup, netting six goals in three tournaments.

Atsu, who just joined Saudi club Al Raed, hasn't featured for the Black Stars in two years and will be hoping to return soon as the Nations Cup in Cameroon approaches next year.
