Discussing his imperious form in recent years, the former Marseille striker said he promised himself to always give his best on the pitch.
He said he doesn’t want to retire and have regrets over his career, adding that this spurs him to perform well.
“I promised myself that, by the time I stop playing this game, I will make sure that I have no regrets,” the Crystal Palace star said.
“My obligation is to make sure that every weekend when I step on the pitch for any game, whether it is for the Black Stars or my club, I have to make sure that I am at my best every time.
