His comments comes after Gyan wore a customised armband with his image on during the Black Stars 5-0 demolishing of Ethiopia in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Baba Yara Stadium.
“Asamoah Gyan and I joined the Black Stars the same day, so I think he has that much experience. But I can say he is not a good leader like Stephen Appiah,” Bortey told Class FM.
“Gyan can do whatever you want him to do in terms of football because he knows that he is a scorer. When you put him in, he will score for you, but when it comes to leadership skills, he is not on top.

“A strong leader should command team-mates, organise them and tell them to do this and do that on and off the field of play because when the team loses, all the blame will definitely come to the captain and coach.
He added: “Gyan is scoring but when he does something wrong and people are criticizing him, he doesn't speak out to calm down nerves. But as a good leader, you have to come out and explain issues to the public so they understand.”
