Asante Kotoko would have been ideal club for Asamoah Gyan - Malik Jabir

Published on: 06 November 2020

Former Asante Kotoko coach, Malik Jabir has opined that Asamoah Gyan should have joined the Porcupine Warriors instead of Legon Cities FC.

Gyan, 34, joined the Royals on transfer deadline on a year deal with an option of renewal.

The former Sunderland and Al Ain forward had been linked with Asante Kotoko but the Royals offered the most attractive deal.

However, Jabir beleives Kotoko would have been the ideal destination for Ghana’s all-time top goalscorer.

“Gyan’s comeback is good for the local league but I wish he had joined Kotoko because I have seen his heart is with Kotoko but maybe we didn’t have money to take him," he told Kumasi based Luv FM.

"If he had come to Kotoko, he will have had things much easier than going to struggle in that small team,” he added.
