However, he holds the record as the African player with the most goals at the FIFA World Cup, scoring six goals in three tournaments.

The former Stade Rennais star is also Ghana's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals in 109 matches.

Gyan retired from professional football last year and has since been involved in the hunt for the next generation of talents for Ghana with his All Regional Games initiative.
