A former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has insisted that he is yet to retire from playing active football amid speculations his playing days are over.
The 36-year-old has been clubless after failing to renew his contract with Ghana Premier League side, Legon Cities at the end of the 2020/21 season.
Gyan is also yet to play for the national team since the elimination of the Black Stars at the hands of Tunisia during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] in Egypt.
But the former Sunderland star has revealed he is still open to playing competitive football should the opportunity avail itself.
“I am not retired yet, so I feel honored when called for these charity games,” Gyan said on Accra-based Joy FM.
“I want to get back to playing, but I need about two to three months to get back into shape. I want the right timing to start training because there are a lot of activities on my table now.
“I would have started training this month but my tuxedo has been fitted already and can’t lose the weight now,” he added.
The veteran forward has netted 51 times for the Black Stars in 107 appearances.
