Gyan said:
“If somebody says he or she is living in his dream, hope everybody understand him. I remember when we were kids a teacher walks in and asked what you want to be in future some were saying Lawyers and President and stuff, the only thing I always said was to be a football star.
"I want to achieve a lot in football. That was why I said I’m living in my dream so. I’m a happy man right now.
“Whenever my old friends see me, they remember I said it and I have lived by it. So I’m motivating all the guys who are looking up to me and the other Black Stars players that it is possible they can do it despite everything.
In my career, I have seen ups and downs and a lot of criticism and stuffs. But I am here I am today.”
The Shanghai SIPG player is on holidays after the Chinese Super League season ended in November.
