The star of Ghana’s top striker Asamoah Gyan continues to rise and now from breaking records in his home country, he’s quickly establishing himself as an African legend. Gyan’s second goal during the 2-all draw against FIFA World Cup favourites Germany has seen him becoming the first Ghanaian to score in three different World Cups.
