Asamoah Gyan’s love for his Ghan is what motivates him to want to play for the Black Stars at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, according to Cameroon Football Federation president Samuel Eto’o.

The former Ghana captain has been trending since last Tuesday when he revealed he wants to make a comeback to the Black Stars.

Gyan’s comments have sparked heated debate among Ghanaians and former colleagues.

Sharing his view, Eto’o said n Joy FM; “The motivation [to play at the world cup] is because of his love for his country and the champion player that he is.”

“I think it’s a good thing to have a dream and I believe for all African sons that gave us joy while playing, it is just natural that they nurture such a dream.

“I hope that his dream becomes a reality. But as we are all aware, the final decision is that of the coach.”

Gyan has 51 goals for Ghana, with six of them coming at the World Cup, where he appeared in 2006, 2010, and 2014.

Ghana will face Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in the group stage.
