Asamoah Gyan has been awarded Sports
Writers Association of Ghana Men's
Footballer of the Year.
The Al Ain forward's scoring feat last year in
the African World Cupqualifying series and for
his United Arab Emirates side made him the
obvious winner.
His statistics were too much for Italy-based
duo and international teammates Kwadwo
Asamoah and Sulley Ali Muntari.
He was not at the function as he prepares to
face Al Ahli in the final of the UAE President's
Cup on Sunday.
His father Gyan Baffour Mensah and Chief
Executive Officer of his foundation Samuel
Anim Addo received the award on his behalf.
Gyan was in contention for the prestigious
Personality of the Year Award but was beaten
to it by his national team coach Kwesi Appiah.
