Legon Cities: Asamoah Gyan investment has yielded good returns
Big-spending Ghana Premier League side, Legon
Cities say they have no regrets over their
decision to sign former Black Stars skipper
Asamoah Gyan despite the player's failure to make
an impact on the pitch.
Gyan has been dogged by injuries since his
big-money move to Legon last November and made
only three appearances in the first round of the
league.



He has scored no goals and made no assists,
leading critics to question the prudence in such
an expensive capture of the 35-year-old Ghana
legend at the twilight of his career.

Return on investment
At the unveiling last Friday of another big-money
signing, Victorien Adebayor, the CEO of Legon
Cities, Mr Terry Maxwell Aidam, said the signing
of Gyan was a long-term investment that was
already generating dividends for the club.

He disclosed that the Royals were building their
brand by signing high-quality players such as Gyan
and Nigerien forward Adebayor who would make the
club competitive on the pitch.

"Putting numbers to it, then I will tell you that
unless you come to my office then we will see
because Asamoah Gyan was signed as a footballer
and for his brand essence," Mr Aidam said.





Value to the brand
"You can attest to the fact that Asamoah Gyan
coming to add to the Legon Cities brand has given
us a big mileage. If you are looking at the
numbers then you must look at my balance sheet.
From where we sit, we have not got it 100 per
cent, but we are almost breaking-even from
bringing him on board in these worrying times of
COVID".

Legon Cities ended the first round of the Ghana
Premier League in 15th place.
