The 31-year-old reached the milestone after netting in his country’s 5-0 win over Ethiopia in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations over weekend.

The iconic Ghana captain is tied in 35th place with the Dutch and Bosnia & Herzegovina’s legends respectively on the list of top international performers.

Gyan, who is on loan at UAE side Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai has insisted he has more footballing years ahead of him.

Armband row 

The former Sunderland striker has come under torrential criticism after he wore a ceremonial armband to cerebrate his 50th goal against Ethiopia.

This follows his refusal to handover his customized armband to his deputy, Andre Ayew when he [Gyan] was substituted in the game against Ethiopia.

But some Ghanaians believed that Gyan did no wrong.

Renowned journalist Farayi Mungazi of the BBC also joined the growing list of journalists who have called for more respect for the Ghanaian forward who has been a trail blazer on the football pitch on the African continent.

The powerful King does not believe the duo are not in good terms over the issue of captaincy as it has been reported by the media several times.

Ahead of the Black Stars 2019 Africa cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia, the team paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene at the Manhyia palace and he took advantage to urge Gyan and Ayew to stay focused and avoid the negative media reportage about their relationship.

“I once read from one of the newspapers that there is a bad blood between Abedi Ayew (referring to Andre) and Asamoah Gyan, but from what I am seeing now they are enjoying a healthy relationship chatting and smiling together,” he said at the Manhyia Palace.

“The media should refrain from trying to create tension between players of the Black Stars. However, I am advising you (the players) that no one should seek personal glory instead of the team glory. No one should have it in mind that he won’t pass to a colleague because the person would score and take the glory. “In the end it is the team that would win and everybody would share in the glory of the team’s success.”
