Gyan accuses Ghanaian journalists of causing friction in Black Stars camp

Asamoah Gyan has accused the Ghanaian media of causing divisions in the national team, the Black Stars.

The 34 year old striker alleged that some journalists are in bed with a certain group of players which brings about bias and negative reportage towards others in the team.

“There are some media men in Ghana who are on the payroll of some players. So they always want to destroy other players in the players they support,” Gyan told Kwabena Yeboah on GTV Sports Highlight.”

“I have a thick skin to deal with these things, but what about the other players?” he quizzed.

On the players’ winning bonus or allowance in the public domain, the former Sunderland hitman added, “I do not think it is a good idea to discuss our winning bonus in public, it only happens in Ghana, we do not see that in other countries and that’s why it always brings tension to the players in the National Team.”

Gyan is Ghana’s all-time scorer and is widely regarded as one of the best players to have ever come out of the West African nation.

The prolific marksman has scored 51 goals in 107 appearances for the national team since making his debut in 2003.

He played in eight Africa Cup of Nations and three World Cups for the Black Stars.

With 6 goals, he is also the top African goalscorer in the history of the World Cup. Read Full Story
