Emmanuel Yeboah reveals how Asamoah Gyan’s tweet influenced his AFCON U23 performance

Ghana failed to secure one of the tickets to the 2024 Olympic Games but Yeboah was the Black Meteors’ brightest spot.

The lanky forward, affectionately known as 99 ideas, was joint top scorer with Morocco captain Abdessamad Ezzalzouli before bowing out of the tournament.

The CFR Cluj attacker scored three goals and provided an assist in three games.

“Before we started the tournament, our legend Asamoah Gyan tweeted that I should be monitored at the tournament so before going into the games, I always though I had to fulfill Gyan’s comments. So I said to myself at least I had to score and provide an assist in a game,” he told Saddick Adams TV.

“It’s not everyone that gets the attention of a legend like Asamoah Gyan so after seeing that tweet, I felt so inspired. So I felt obligated to make him proud,” he added.
