Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has tipped South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns as the club to rule African football in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Gyan, who visited the club some few weeks ago was impressed with the facilities at the club and was not surprised to see them top of the South African league.<\/p>\n

Ahead of their CAF Champions League group A opener against Al Hilal, Gyan sent a goodwill message to the club and hopes they sail through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to wish them luck. Mamelodi Sundowns are becoming the giants in African football,\u201d Gyan told the Sundowns media department.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalking locally, they are also top of the league. Everything that they are doing, they have a vision, and the vision is great, the infrastructure and everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey deserve everything they are earning now. So, I just want to wish them luck in the future and in everything they are doing,\u201d concluded Gyan.<\/p>\n

Themba Zwane’s first half strike gave Sundowns all three points in their match against Al Hilal on Friday night.<\/p>\n
