I’m strategizing with Andre Ayew to end Ghana’s AFCON drought – Gyan reveals

The Black Stars have not won a major trophy in over 36 years, with Ghana last winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 1982.

The country has, however, come very close a number of times, finishing as runners-up in 1992, 2010 and 2015.

But Gyan believes the players will have no excuse when they take on the rest of the continent later this year.
