Legon Cities reject claims of millions of dollars for Asamoah Gyan

Published on: 10 November 2020

Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities have rejected claims of signing former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan for millions of dollars on transfer deadline day.

Gyan joined The Royals on a one-year contract, amid claims of a deal worth $1 million.

The 34-year-old settled for Legon after failing to reach an agreement with Asante Kotoko whom he had publicly declared love for and stated a desire to wear the colours of the club.

"Gyan will play for us this season and if things go on well there is the possibility that he will stay with us for another season," Agyemang told Vision 1 FM.

"Gyan’s contract is structured, we have seen a lot of things in the media but that isn’t the case.

"We can’t disclose the amount he is going to take even the Europeans do not do that. What we normally hear are speculations from the media. There is no club that will disclose the salary of a player because it is confidential.

"What I can say is that he signed a performance-based contract."

Gyan scored 10 goals in 16 games before he left Liberty in 2003 to embark on a career that incorporated spells in Italy, France, England, Turkey, China, and the United Arab Emirates.

The 2020/21 season will kick off this weekend at match venues across the country and is expected to run through till the weekend of July 16-18, 2021.
