Kwadwo Asamoah (L) and Asamoah Gyan (R) during their Black Stars days
Legendary Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan has identified his former teammate Kwadwo Asamoah as the most underrated player of his generation, praising his consistency, intelligence, and understated influence on the pitch.
Gyan and Asamoah shared nearly a decade of footballing experience with the Black Stars, playing pivotal roles in some of Ghana’s most significant victories during that period.
One notable moment was Asamoah’s assist to Gyan in the Black Stars’ crucial group stage match against Portugal during the 2014 World Cup.
In an interview with TV3, Ghana’s all-time leading scorer, Asamoah Gyan, was asked to name the most underappreciated teammate from his era.
He responded by showering praise on Kwadwo Asamoah, emphasising that his remarkable talent was often overlooked.
“Kwadwo had a great career. Look at his clubs, he played for Juventus, Inter Milan, and started at Udinese. He had an excellent Black Stars career, and while we accomplished what we set out to do, I think it’s Kwadwo Asamoah,” Gyan remarked.
Kwadwo Asamoah’s illustrious career included stints with top European clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan.
He won six Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia trophies, and three Italian Super Cups.
