Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan has expressed his wish to win the Africa Cup of Nations tournament ahead of the showpiece that gets underway on 17th January in Equatorial Guinea.
The Black star’s striker who will lead his nation into the competition, hopes to lift the trophy despite the team’s struggles after their disappointing campaign at the 2014 World Cup.
Asamoah Gyan says winning the tournament ranks top amongst his wish list for the year. “I hope to win the African Cup in 2015,” he told AsamoahGyan3.com.
“This is the New Year and everyone wishes for good things to happen. Mine [wish] is to win the African Cup.”
The Black Stars have already began non-residential preparations for the 2015 AFCON and the team is expected to arrive in Spain for their pre-tournament camp by the end of the week.
The team will also be playing under a new coach – Avram Grant – who was appointed barely six weeks to the start of the tournament.
