Black Stars and Udinese Calcio midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has entreat Asamoah Gyan to win the Africa Cup of Nations for the country before he retires from football.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars have come close of winning the trophy but their effort have proven futile. In 2010 in Angola, Egypt defeated the Black Stars by a lone goal to nothing.<\/p>\n

After a flamboyant display in the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea, the Black Stars lost 9-8 on penalties shoot out to the Elephant of C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/p>\n

The Black Stars last tasted glory in the continent\u2019s football showpiece in 1982 when they defeated host nation Libya 7-6 on penalties.<\/p>\n

However, Badu who has played alongside Gyan several times has called on the former Sunderland striker to break the country\u2019s 35 years trophy-less jinx before he quit football.<\/p>\n

\u201cGyan has been a wonderful leader, he is great and has done a lot for the national team,\u201d Badu said on GHone.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor now he is the all-time top scorer and just recently he was able to score his 50th<\/sup>\u00a0goal which is a very wonderful achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI I just hope he wins the Nations Cup title with the Black Stars to crown his achievement. I will be happy if he leads the team to win the trophy.\u201d He added.<\/p>\n

Gyan scored his 50th<\/sup> goal for the country in the 2019 AFCON qualifiers against Ethiopia at the Kumasi Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n
