"My form this season has been great and I hope it continues at the Nations Cup where the level is big for me. I have the confidence and I believe it's possible," Gyan said.

 
"But I must admit that playing in Africa is quite different from Europe and I need to keep my focus and not to be over-confident.

 
"This tournament will be great and in a world cup year,everybody will like to play well so you can't do nothing but your best."
