Per what we gathered, the contract is worth $250,000 a year, equivalent to over 1.4m Ghana Cedis a year making him the highest paid footballer in the local premier league.
Earlier, there were 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.
