Despite his enormous individual achievements in football, Asamoah Gyan's career will not be completely successful except he wins the Nations Cup for Ghana, former Ghanaian International, Godwin Attram has said.
Speaking with the media during the commissioning of the Asamoah Gyan Sports Center at Accra Academy on Tuesday, Attram said he believes the captain of the national team must crown his achievements with the nations cup.
Ghana has failed to win the African Cup of Nations for over 35 years despite getting close to the trophy in recent times.
According to Attram, Gyan has what it takes to end Ghana's trophy drought which would be a remarkable feat in his career as the captain of the team.
"He is a very good player but needs to focus in order to win the nations cup with the support of the talented Black Stars' players," he stated.
He said, "it might not be Gyan's priority but I believe that it is the only thing Ghanaians are expecting from the captain."
Attram urged him to put all criticisms behind and with hard work and dedication, make Ghanaians happy by winning the AFCON.
Attram scored a spectacular free-kick in the exhibition game played between the Professional Footballer Association of Ghana(PfaG) and Gyan 11 as part of activities to commission the facility.
He also congratulated Gyan for putting up the edifice and urged other old players to give back to society in order to develop sports in the country.
