Legon Cities have confirmed their squad list for the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League and marquee signing Asamoah Gyan has been handed his favourite number 3 jersey.

Gyan signed a one-year deal with the ‘Royals’ ahead of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League and is expected to use his worth of experience to aid the club as they hope to finish in a respectable position at the end of the season.

Gyan, who is the top goalscorer in Black Stars’ history with 51 goals makes a return to the Ghanaian top-flight, 17 years after leaving Liberty Professionals.
