World Cup Scout : Asamoah Gyan

Name : Asamoah Gyan
Age : 20
Team : Ghana
Club : Modena , Italy.

When Asamoah Gyan scored in the first 70 seconds of the match against the czech republic he was instantly nominated for the best young player award on the fifa's official worldcup website but more importantly became the first talent to come under the scanner of the world cup scout.


In italy gyan is considered to be a young striker on the learning curve but he has burst on the international scene as an world class experienced striker and scored 5 goals this year for his countryh Ghana in friendlies leading to the world cup. Clearly with a goal in the world cup and solid performance for 172 minutes in a very tough ( in fact the toughest at this moment ) group clearly announces his arrival on the world stage.

Gyan was just five days shy of his 18th birthday when he made his debut for the Black Stars. He was called up by caretaker coach Ralf Zumdick at the start of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, making his entrance as a late substitute in the first leg of the preliminary round clash against Somalia. Within five minutes of taking the field, Gyan had scored a fairy-tale debut goal. The performances for ghana and the achivements of the team when he played clearly shows he is set to make a big move to a good club maybe in italy or spain england may also be a option any big club would be ready to grab a striker with a good passing passing game who can create chances while netting in few goals consistantly and just 20 years of age makes him a good buy.
