The former captain for the Blackstars Asamoah Gyan has signed a 4-year long term deal with Ghanaian premier league club Legon Cities
Per what thedistin.com gathered, the contract is worth $250,000 a year, which is equivalent to over 1.4m Ghana Cedis a year making him the highest-paid footballer in the local premier league.
Earlier, there were some speculations that the former Sunderland striker was on the verge of signing for Kumasi Asante Kotoko but things didn’t go well between the two parties until Legon cities came into the picture.
Gyan has been without a club since January 2020 and would be returning to the premier league after 17 years since leaving Liberty Professionals.
