Afcon: Atsu praises Ghana for solving their captaincy problem

Ghana attacker Christian Atsu believes that the national team is happy to place the recent captaincy controversy behind them for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in Egypt.

On Friday, Fenerbahce attacker Andre Ayew and Inter Milan ace Kwadwo Asamoah were named as the new captain and deputy skipper respectively, with Asamoah Gyan moved on to the less prestigious and more advisory 'General Captain' role.

“I don’t mind who becomes the captain in the Black Stars team," said Newcastle United ace Atsu to GNA Sports.
