"Nothing at all than to win the AFCON," he started. "Since 2008. we have been in the semi-finals and back home everybody is tired back home. Everybody wants the Cup," he added.
"It doesn't matter the performance or anything, we just want the Cup. We've got a young team. We will see how it goes because other countries are also here to win so everything will depend on us."

Gyan took part in the draw as he pick the teams for their groups in yesterday's event.

Asamoah Gyan was a member of the team that reached the last 16 of the Nations Cup in 2019. Ghana were eliminated by Tunisia on penalties.
