Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan is all set to announce his return to international football with the Ghana national team. The 27-year-old has been missing for the national team in the last couple of matches after taking voluntary retirement from the international level.
The Sunderland striker is currently playing for the Middle East club Al Ain on a loan deal till the end of the season. However, it is thought that he would be making his move permanent to the Middle East club after it was revealed that Al Ain are in talks with Sunderland on a transfer fee.
He has been likened to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past.
The 27-year-old star coupled with a number of other high profile players like the Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien have been absent for the national team for quite a while now. As a result, the Ghana National team has not been a major force on the African football as they used to be only a few years ago. However, they will be getting the services of Asamoah Gyan, who came to the prominence of the world in the 2006 World Cup, sooner rather than later according to the 27-year-old.
"There is no problem. I have been misquoted about my break from the national team. I had to take a break so I can psyche myself well. My confidence in the national team had gone low and I hope to return with bigger confidence. The decision to return is now left to me. Very, very soon, I will make that announcement. In my letter, I stated that my action was indefinite, so it can be any time. I will communicate that soon," said Gyan in a recent interview. The officials from Al Ain have confirmed that they are 95% sure that they will be able to make his move to the Middle East permanent.
