The retired footballer Asamoah Gyan has played in various countries, including Europe, Italy, the UK, the Middle East, China, France, and Ghana.

Speaking in an interview on the Breakfast Show on GTV, the player said his best career was in the UAE.

"My favourite country is quite interesting; it's quite funny, but I always choose the UAE. I played my best football there. People thought my career was over when I went there.
