Legon Cities to announce the capture of ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan

Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities FC have acquired the services of Ghana’s all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan ahead of the 2020-21 season.

Footydreamsgh.com understands that the 34-year-old has penned down a four-year contract with the Royals after fruitful negotiations.

Gyan who was heavily linked with a move to Asante Kotoko — a club he publicly indicated that he will play for them before announcing his retirement — has accepted a mouthwatering package from Legon Cities FC at a fee believe to be around $150,000.

Legon Cities have posted via Twitter about something big which is about to happen. And, graphics available to us indicate that a deal will be made official very soon.

According to reports, Legon Cities could sign youngster Mathew Anim Cudjoe, who played for Kotoko on loan last season.

Gyan who is seen as nearing the twilight of his career has been without a club since last year after ending his stay at Indian club NorthEast United.

Gyan’s move to Asante Kotoko hit snag after the club failed to meet his demands which was reported to be around $500,000 for a two-year deal – a report Gyan denied.

He has been without a club since last year after ending his stay at Indian club NorthEast United.

The arrival of the Africa’s all-time FIFA World Cup top scorer is expected to boost the commercial value of the Ghana Premier League following his global popularity in football.

Gyan began his career in 2003 with Ghanaian Premier League club Liberty Professionals.
