Last weekend, the Black Stars legend sealed a sensational move to the Ghana Premier League outfit after ending his stay with Indian side NorthEast United earlier this years.

In signing for Legon Cities FC, it meant that Asamoah Gyan has returned to his home country, having left the West African country some 17 years ago.

In 2003, the prolific striker left Liberty Professionals to join Italian Serie A side Udinese. Subsequently, the 34-year old had the chance to play in England, Turkey, China, and the United Arab Emirates.

After an illustrious career that has seen him command global attention, the forward is now back home.
