Legon Cities Chief Executive Officer, Mr Terry Maxwell Aidam believes Asamoah Gyan's move to the club was a long-term investment that was already generating dividends for the club.
Gyan has been hampered by injuries since his big-money move to the Royals last November and has made only three appearances in the first round of the league.
He has scored no goals and made no assists, leading critics to question the prudence in such an expensive capture of the 35-year-old Ghana legend at the twilight of his career.
"Putting numbers to it, then I will tell you that unless you come to my office then we will see because Asamoah Gyan was signed as a footballer and for his brand essence," Mr Aidam said as reported by Graphic Sports.
"You can attest to the fact that Asamoah Gyan coming to add to the Legon Cities brand has given us a big mileage.
"aIf you are looking at the numbers then you must look at my balance sheet. From where we sit, we have not got it 100 per cent, but we are almost breaking-even from bringing him on board in these worrying times of COVID".
Legon Cities ended the first round of the Ghana Premier League in 15th place.
