Ex-Ghana Football Association Chairman, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe insists that if Asamoah Gyan works on his stamina he will be a good addition to the Black Stars at the World Cup.
Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has declared his readiness to feature at the mundial.
The 36-year-old has been inactive since ending his one-year stay with Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities after the 2020/21 season.
He last featured for Ghana at their abysmal 2019 AFCON campaign in Egypt.
Asamoah Gyan is the all time record top scorer for the Ghanaian national team with fifty-one goals.
Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe believes that if Asamoah Gyan works on his fitness, he will be a good addition to Ghana at the World Cup.
"Asamoah Gyan has made an incredible mark in Ghana football. He is a good footballer and if he has the stamina, why not?” he told Graphic Sports.
"Roger Milla opted to play in the World Cup at an old age and did well. We can also talk about Stanley Matthews of England who was a key figure in the team and was known as the tactical magician.
“He was later invited to Ghana by Ken Harrison, who was then General Manager of Hearts of Oak in the 1950s," he recalled.
"If he can train with the present team and the coach finds him fit, he should be invited because I strongly believe if he can match the tempo at training and the physique, he should be able to play.
"I think Gyan has the skill because when he is running with the ball, defenders fear to come near him. He has the skills and tactics but the strength to play is the problem. If he can work on that, he will be a fantastic addition to the World Cup."
