Gyan To Play In Championship?

English championship side, Fulham FC, has been heavily linked with a move for Ghana Black Stars striker, Asamoah Gyan, according to Sky Sports.

The captain of the Black Stars is rumoured to be flying-in for a medical with the London club this week.

Turkish giant, Besiktas were also linked with the striker, who seems to be interested in a return to English football, having played there for Sunderland from 2010 to 2012.

The 30-year-old attacker is currently on the books of Chinese Super League club, Shanghai SIPG, but a combination of injuries and the arrival of Brazil’s Hulk has seen him spend more time on the bench than on the pitch.

He is part of Avram Grant’s 23-man squad to face Rwanda for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, to which, Ghana has already qualified.

Gyan Vehemently Denies Funding The NPP

Ghana football team captain Asamoah Gyan has denied reports circulating in the local media that he is a financier of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

A political talk show host, Mugabe Maase, alleged on Montie Fm, a local language radio station in Accra, on Wednesday that Gyan was financing the opposition political party to win this year’s general election, reports Xinhua.

But the Shanghai SIPG star has denied the accusations in a series of tweets, describing the reports as irresponsible journalism.

“Say no to irresponsible journalism, the owners/managers of Muntie fm must call Mugabe to order. I’m a footballer and not a politician,” he tweeted.

 

“I serve GH (Ghana) not politicians not parties, I don’t fund politics, there’s more joy in charity and philanthropy (and) my works are my evidence,” said Gyan.

Meanwhile, the Minority Leader in Ghana’s Parliament, Osei-Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, said claims that Gyan was a financier of the NPP were completely false.

“I can tell you on authority from where I sit that I never know Asamoah Gyan contribute in any meaningful way to the affairs of our party.

“I don’t know of any such contribution coming from Asamoah Gyan in 2008 and 2012 when I have been keenly involved,” Mensah-Bonsu said.

 

Ghana will go to the polls on November 7 to elect a president and 275 members of Parliament.

Melbourne Victory’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stage of the Asian Champions League took a hit after Asamoah Gyan’s made into in the next round.

Dario Conca sealed the result midway through the second half from the penalty spot to confirm Shanghai as Group G winners with a game to spare.

Jesse Makarounas pulled one back for Victory with less than 10 minutes but it proved to be little more than consolation for the visitors.
