Former Players: Gyan in contention for the Ballon d'Or

This Tuesday, the list of 23 players nominated for the Ballon d’Or was unveiled, in order to choose 2010’s best football player.

For the first time, the election is organised commonly by magazine France Football (the trophy’s creators) and the FIFA. Consequently, the trophy winner will not be chosen by the journalists only, but also by the national teams captains and managers.

One former Rennes player is included in the twenty-three men shortlist, Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan. The Black Stars’ striker is certainly being rewarded for his good performances at the World Cup, with most of the selected players having had a major role in this competition.
