Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has reiterated that he will play for Kumasi Asante Kotoko before bringing his career to a close. The Ghana captain formerly represented Liberty Professionals in the Ghana Premier League for three seasons before joining Italian side Udinese Calcio in 2003. He later moved to Modena, Stade Rennes, Sunderland, Al Ain and now at Shanghai SIPG, becoming the highest paid player from Africa with a £227,000-a-week deal at the Chinese club.


“I will definitely play for Kotoko before hanging up my boots because I love the club very much," the 30-year-old said in an interview on Happy FM.

"I have always been a Kotoko fan since my childhood days. Even though, I didn’t play for them during my time in Ghana, I will definitely play for them before going on retirement. It is about the perfect time so I'm waiting for that perfect moment when everything looks set for me to play Kotoko,” he added.
 
Gyan, who is currently in Ghana to promote his Baby Jet boxing brand, is reported to be on his way out of Shanghai following the arrival of Brazilian striker Hulk.

Gyan will be continuing a family tradition as his elder brother Baffour, also a former Ghana international, played for the Porcupine Warriors between 2010 and 2011 after a successful career in Europe and in the Middle East before ending his career.
