Communications Director of Asante Kotoko, Moses Antwi Benefo believes this is the right time for Asamoah Gyan to join the club.
The 33-year-old forward has been linked to the club ahead of the 2020/21 football season.
Gyan has openly declared his intension to end his football career at the club.
The former Sunderland and Liberty Professionals forward who is unattached after ending his stay with Indian Super Lig side NorthEast United FC is believed to have quoted $400,000 before he joins the club.
However, the hierarchy of the club are negotiating with the legendary striker to reduce his demands.
But Mr Benefo believes this is the right time for Gyan to join the club.
We believe the time is now for Asamoah Gyan to join Asante Kotoko as he has always wished. The time is now not any later date.
“He will be a crowd puller and also attract sponsors, the brand Asamoah Gyan is very marketable and will attract a lot of sponsors.
“One thing we can't also take away from Asamoah Gyan is the rate at which he scores, he does that with ease.
“But the only barrier now is his demands (Money) but am sure our CEO who has a good relationship with him can sort that one not forgetting a directive from Manhyia that we should make Kotoko financially viable so that will also be taken into consideration as we negotiate with him,” he added.
Gyan has played in 2006. 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups respectively. He is the country’s highest goal scorer with 51 goals.
Gyan is also Africa’s highest goal scorer in the history of the FIFA World Cup with six goals.
