Fatau Dauda: I would give up the Legon Cities’ armband to Asamoah Gyan

Legon Cities experienced goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda would have no problems handing over the armband to his former Black Stars teammate and Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan.

Legon Cities FC signed former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan in a one-year deal on transfer deadline day on Saturday.

The 34-year-old was initially on his way to join Asante Kotoko and although Gyan publicly admitted his readiness to join the Porcupine Warriors, the negotiations fell through midway which gave Legon Cities the chance to hijack the move.

Ryan comes with a lot of experience following a successful career which took him to Serie A side Udinese, Stade Rennes in France as well becoming the record signing at Premier League side Sunderland in 2010.

He is returning to the Ghana Premier League after 17 years after leaving Liberty Professionals in 2003.

Dauda, who is currently the captain of the Royals has disclosed that he is ready to relinquish his captaincy to Gyan on any day.

“I will not hesitate to relinquish my captaincy to Asamoah Gyan. I don’t need management of Legon Cities to tell me that, he’s my senior and I need to give him that respect unless he doesn’t want it. I will give him the band anytime he’s on the pitch-, ” Fatau Dauda told Oyerepa FM.

The Ghanaian top-flight is scheduled to start November 13, and Legon Cities will play as hosts to Berekum Chelsea at the Accra Sports Stadium.
