Gyan, 31 on-loan from Shanghai SIPG to Al Ahli has scored just five goals and made 12 appearances due to lack of much playing time due to injuries.

Hence, the Black Stars skipper who emerged as the top scorer of the Arabian Gulf League on three consecutive occasions from 2011 to 2013 during his days at Al Ain failed to replicate his achievement in his second spell.

On Sunday, the Pro League Committee (PLC) announced the finalists for the 15 May event.
