Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has opened up on his relationship with Andre Ayew, re-echoing that they are only teammates and not friends.<\/p>\n

The pair have played for the national team for the past decade with Andre succeeding Gyan as the new captain of the side.<\/p>\n

However, the 36-year-old, in an interview with Wontumi FM, said he and the Al Sadd forward rarely go along outside the national team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAndre (Ayew) is not my friend but a teammate,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every job, you work together but not everyone is your friend that you go and come with.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndre is my teammate and when we\u2019re in camp we work together. But I can\u2019t ask him to join me to go and sit somewhere and have a conversation. I also have my own clique.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Gyan admits they get on well whenever they communicate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must confess that I have a good relationship with him. We sometimes talk about boxing matches but he is not my close friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not talked to each other since my absence from the Black Stars,\u201d Gyan added.<\/p>\n

Prior to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Gyan was stripped of the Black Stars captaincy with Ayew being handed that role while the former was given the general captain.<\/p>\n

Andre Ayew joined the Black Stars in 2008 and the only tournament he missed was Afcon 2013 in South Africa.<\/p>\n
