Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has labelled Senegal title favourites after watching the Teranga Lions win two games out of two in the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Gabon.

The 2002 finalists sailed into the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe on Thursday.

Senegal, who defeated Tunisia in their opening Group B game, will play Algeria in their final group game on Wednesday.

"I have watched Senegal and i think they pose a big threat," Gyan said ahead of Ghana's game against Mali.

"They are the only team so far i can say are real contenders for the title."

Ghana have failed to win the AFCON title since 1982 and would be hoping to end the long wait in Gabon but will need to take the first step of qualifying from group D against Uganda, Mali and Egypt.
