“There’s only one Asamoah Gyan” – Gyan responds to boos from Asante Kotoko fans in home defeat

Striker Asamoah Gyan has hit out at his critics in Legon Cities’ 1-0 defeat to giants Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Porcupine Warriors secured all three points in the match-day 22 battle of the Ghana Premier League, thanks to Augustine Okrah’s 13th-minute strike.

The former Black Stars skipper was introduced in the last 15 minutes of the encounter as a replacement for Hans Kwoffie.

The former Sunderland striker received a hostile welcome from Asante Kotoko fans in the stands as he was booed by a section of them.

Responding to the boos during the post-match interview, Gyan said: “There’s only one Asamoah Gyan, they can boo. They know they are hypocrites and they know there’s only one Asamoah Gyan. They can say I’m arrogant, I’ll be arrogant because they know the hard truth.

“I’m just here to help my team. They should even be thankful I’m in the league. So it’s what it’s,” he added.

It would be recalled that Gyan was heavily linked with a move to Asante Kotoko before he joined the Royals before the commencement of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

The report indicated that the Ghanaian giants were unable to meet Gyan’s demand.

The 1-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko leaves the Royals in the 16th position with 23 points after 22 games.
