Ghana's 1965 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) winner Osei Kofi has urged veteran Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan to bow out of international football amid talks about his present importance to the national team.
The 34-year-old is reportedly not in the plans of new Ghana coach CK Akonnor and until Sunday held the position of Black Stars 'general captain'.
He was the main captain from 2012 to May last year when he lost the top role to Swansea City attacker Andre Ayew ahead of the Afcon in Egypt, and was instead given the more advisory general captain position.
