Asamoah Gyan still not ruling out ‘Dream’ move to Asante Kotoko

Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan’s dreams and desire to play for his childhood club, Asante Kotoko before he retires from football is still in sight.

The 36-year-old made a return to the local topflight prior to the start of the 2020/21 season. Gyan was linked to the Porcupines. But he ended up signing for Legon Cities on a one-year deal.

The former Sunderland and Kayseriespor forward struggled to live up to expectations due to consistent injuries. The country’s all-time top goalscorer made just seven appearances for the Royals in all competitions.

Currently without a club and looking to get back in shape, Gyan said he hopes to play for Kotoko before he hangs his boots.

“International, I don’t know but locally, yes, that one I am sure about that,” Gyan said in an interview with Joy FM/TV on Monday morning.

“If I want to play, I’ve to play locally” Gyan was asked which club he would feature for between Hearts and Liberty should he decide to return to the pitch, he emphatically mentioned “Kotoko” and questioned the interviewer on why he skipped Kotoko from her question.

“I am a huge Kotoko fan but Accra Hearts of Oak for all these years I was born in Accra so I admire them from afar, some of the players I played with play for Hearts of Oak who are my friends. I can never disrespect Accra Hearts of Oak but I am a huge Kotoko fan but it doesn’t mean if I see Hearts of Oak I should be hating, It’s a no no. They are a huge club but I’ve got my team that I support which is Kotoko and I will play for them”

It’s been reported that Gyan and the management of Kotoko are in talks for a possible move next season.
