He said “It is time… that voice has been clear in my ears, and I have succumbed to it, it is time. It is time to hang the jersey and boots in glory as I retire officially from active football,” the 37-year-old broke down before his audience at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

It took the likes of former Ivorian footballer, Didier Drogba, who was also on the panel to console Gyan to regain his composure on the stage as the crowd received the news with thunderous applause.
