Former Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu believes the Black Stars are struggling to replace legendary striker Asamoah Gyan following their inability to score in friendly matches against Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire.
In two friendlies, The Black Stars succumbed to a 1-0 away loss to Morocco before playing out a 0-0 draw with Cote d’Ivoire back home on Saturday.
Gyan, Ghana’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals in 109 internationals, has not played for the Black Stars since the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in 2019.
