Meanwhile, Gyan recently revealed that he’d have become a lawyer or musician if he didn’t end up as a footballer.

The retired footballer has gone on to accomplish the latter, having released some hit songs with his now-missing friend Castro in the early 2010s.

However, he believes he could’ve been a great lawyer too, explaining that he’s very good at winning arguments.

Speaking to 3FM, Ghana’s all-time top scorer was asked which profession he’d have ventured into if he hadn’t become a footballer.

Gyan answered: “A musician or a&nbsp;lawyer,&nbsp;because you never win against me when it comes to arguments. You never win. I always find a way to win.”

Asked if he would consider going to law school, Gyan added: “Maybe. Never say never. Now we’re focusing on the&nbsp;All Regional&nbsp;Games and we want to change the sports fraternity, we want the other generation to benefit from it.”

Gyan officially announced his retirement in June last year following a career that spanned over two decades.
