Afcon 2019: Ghana ace Asamoah Gyan wants more playing time

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan is looking to get more involved at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, having played a peripheral role thus far.

The 33-year-old Kayserispor frontman - Ghana's all-time top scorer and most-capped player with 51 goals in 108 internationals - made his tournament bow as a 78th minute substitute in a 0-0 stalemate with Cameroon on Saturday, following his bench role in the opening game against Benin.

Ghana play Guinea-Bissau in their last Group F fixture on Tuesday.

“Every player wants to play but at the end of the day, the coach takes the decision," Gyan told reporters in Egypt.
