Malik Jabir, who until recently coached the Black Meteors, said Kotoko will be the perfect place for Ghana's all-time leading goalscorer in an exclusive interview with local radio LUV FM.
“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 LUV FM
Jabir also said that Gyan could've just selected a club with a lot of experience on the continent as a boost to his presence on the local scene.
“He will struggle because who knows Legon Cities in Africa? Who knows Legon Cities even in our hierarchy?” he quizzed.
“They are now struggling to come up because it is a new team. It’s not their fault; they are a new side struggling to make it. So, it means he (Gyan) will struggle over there more than if he had come to Kotoko,”
Malik Jabir also mentioned that Asamoah Gyan's presence will boost the current status of the league.
“First of all, it will now go to tell all those who went outside and never came back and to remind them that when you go and you’re nearing completion come and end it home without any shame.
"Secondly, it will again help whichever team Asamoah Gyan joins to rake in more money at the stadium because many people will want to see him play. If you look back at our days, because of a single player a lot of people used to come to the stadium,” he concluded.
