Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has blamed Sports Journalists in the country for his perceived rivalry with his deputy Andre Dede Ayew.

According to Gyan, his friendship with Dede started when the U-20 World Cup winner joined the Black Stars in 2008 and insisted he is on good terms with the Fenerbahce attacker.

“Andre is my assistant in the national team so when we’re in camp, we talk about the team’s progress.”

“Andre is my friend and there’s no friction between us. When I heard about him coming to Turkey, we spoke at length on a video call, I frequently speak with him. We do have a good relationship.”

“It’s the press that’s creating the rivalry between us.”

“These things create division in the team and it must be discouraged.”

The Kayserispor striker is Ghana’s all-time leading scorer and he is currently playing in the Turkish Liga 1 with his deputy, Dede Ayew who plays for giants Fenerbahce.
