Asamoah Gyan in trouble: Court awards cars, two houses, and gas station to Ghana legend’s ex-wife in divorce case

After a protracted three-year legal battle, an Accra court has delivered a verdict today affirming Asamoah Gyan’s paternity of the three children born to Gifty Gyan.

The court has decreed that Asamoah Gyan is obligated to provide financial support to Gifty Gyan in the form of a monthly stipend of 25,000 Ghana cedis.

However, this financial assistance does not encompass specific expenses such as school fees, medical and dental care, flight tickets, and various other childcare costs.

In addition to the financial obligations, the court has ruled that Asamoah Gyan’s mansion located in the United Kingdom be transferred to Gifty Gyan as part of the settlement.

She has also been awarded a four-bedroom house situated in Spintex, Accra.

Furthermore, the court has adjudicated that two vehicles owned by Asamoah Gyan, a BMW and an Infiniti, be handed over to Gifty Gyan.

Additionally, Asamoah Gyan’s land, originally designated for the construction of a filling station, has been assigned to Gifty Gyan.

This legal decision represents a significant development in the longstanding and intricate legal dispute involving Asamoah Gyan and Gifty Gyan, particularly in relation to the custody of their children and associated financial matters.

It is worth noting that in 2018, Asamoah Gyan publicly disclosed his financial challenges, citing bankruptcy.

The situation further complicated matters, as Gyan reportedly ceased communication with his wife, Gifty, and their three children since August. Phone calls from the family have gone unanswered.

Amidst these developments, Asamoah Gyan is said to have expressed his intention to seek an annulment of his marriage to Gifty,

This test has been requested by Asamoah Gyan’s older brother, Baffuor, adding another layer of complexity to this intricate family saga.

The country’s former skipper has insisted that he barely speaks to his predecessor ever since he left the scenes

Gyan lost his captaincy role to Ayew ahead of 2019 Africa Cup of Nations following a decision by Kwesi Appiah and Gyan has insisted that he barely speaks to Ayew.

Although, there were reports in the local media that there is a feud between Gyan and Ayew which led to division in the Black Stars, the latest revelation seems to confirm that assertion

The legendary striker believes the AS Roma youngster has a lot to learn before he can attain greater heights

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has advised Ghanaians to lower their expectations and comparison on new prodigy Felix Afena-Gyan.

The 19-year-old A.S Roma youngster has become an instant hit this season which has led to a section of Ghanaian comparing his game style to Asamoah Gyan.

Although, Afena-Gyan has helped Ghana to book a place in the 2022 Fifa World Cup to be staged in Qatar later this year, he still has a lot of things to add to his game, according to Asamoah Gyan.

“Don’t put pressure on the boy, it’s too early to do that comparison, maybe there might be a lookalike,” Gyan told on Citi TV.

“He is a very good player, the pace and passion I watched him play in the game against Nigeria shows he wants to give something to the fans.”

“He had cramps and when a player has cramps, it shows that he gave everything, that is what I love about him,” he added.

Afena-Gyan has had a handful game time at Roma this season and reports suggest that he may be on loan at Sassuolo next season as part of his development.

Kwesi Appiah betrayed me ahead of 2019 Afcon- Asamoah Gyan explains why

The Black Stars former skipper has insisted that he felt betrayed after his captain’s armband was taken from him prior to the tournament

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan says he felt betrayed by former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations held in Egypt.

Prior to the start of the tournament, Gyan was unceremoniously stripped off his captain’s armband and made a general captain.

Andre Ayew was then named as a the new captain and that generated a lot of controversies around the them. As a result, Ghana president Nana Akufo-Addo had to intervene at a point before Gyan was named among the squad for the competition.

And the former Al Ain star believes he wasn’t expecting such a decision from Kwesi Appiah at that crucial moment.

“I felt betrayed [when the captain’s armband was taken from me in 2019],” Gyan told Asaase Radio in an interview.

“So I couldn’t control my emotions. People who know everything behind the scenes, know I was betrayed [by the coach],” he added.

At the tournament, Ghana suffered one of their worst performance as they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Tunisia.

Gyan also failed to score in the tournament for the first time since 2008.

Gyan, who is yet to launch a book about his career, is currently a free agent after mutually parting ways with Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities last year.

“This nonsense must stop,” Asamoah Gyan blasts Otto Addo & GFA for overlooking Majeed Ashimeru ahead of Nigeria game

The midfielder has been in a scintillating form recently for his club but he was surprisingly dropped ahead of the World Cup playoffs

Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has launched a scathing attack on Ghana Football Association and coaches of the Black Stars following their decision to exclude Anderlecht midfielder Majeed Ashimeru from the squad that will face Nigeria in the 2022 Fifa World Cup playoffs.

With the first leg of the tie scheduled for Friday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Ghana FA released a 27-man squad on Tuesday but Ashimeru was conspicuously missing.

The former WAFA star has scored three goals and provided three assists so far this season for Anderlecht and has become the fans’ favorite.

That decision irked Gyan who took to his social media to blast the technical handlers and Football Association for always calling players not on merit ahead of those that can help the country.

“This guy @MajeedAshimeru is the best midfielder in Ghana, after @Thomaspartey22 PERIOD,” Gyan Tweeted on Tuesday.

” I have kept quiet on this but this nonsense must stop. Smh,” he added.

Interestingly, despite the awesome performances by many local players in this season’s Ghana Premier League, Otto Addo and Ghana Football Association decided to overlook them and call only one player (Dennis Korsah) from Hearts of Oak.

However, Denis Odoi, Montari Kamaheni, Christopher Antwi-Adjei, Elisha Owusu and Felix Afena-Gyan have been given the chance to play their first game for Ghana if selected on Friday.

Out of the four goalkeepers called, none of them is playing in Ghana Premier League especially Bechem United goalkeeper Abdulai Iddrisu who has had 13 clean sheets from 20 games and Danlad Ibrahim of Asante Kotoko who is currently in the form of his life.

A lot of folks in Kumasi and its environs, just like Gyan, are not happy with the decision of the technical team.

They believe that it is unfair to overlook the players in the local scene, especially Asante Kotoko after their splendid performance this season. Kotoko top the Premier League log with eight points advantage.

Why Black Stars lost to Morocco & minnows Comoros but not Gabon at 2021 Afcon?

The Black Stars experienced their worst ever performance at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon as they were bundled out of the group but which record still stood?

Ghana could not progress from their group in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations ongoing in Cameroon. With Group C having debutants Comoros and less fancied side Gabon, it was only Morocco a lot of people were worried about for Ghana, however, things moved from bad to worse.

The Black Stars were pipped 1-0 on opening day of the group by Morocco before they shared the spoils 1-1 with Gabon in the second game and when everyone was waiting for the four-time champions to grind results against Comoros and qualify, they flattered to deceive.

Comoros scored three, battered and outplayed Ghana, and eventually won the game 3-2 with their coach even wanting more goals before full time as the minnows matched on to the round of 16 as one of the best third place countries.

Now, the Black Stars’ came back home empty handed and with a lot of shame but there was one thing that they could be proud of, regardless.

The Black Stars maintained their history as the best opponents in second group games of Africa Cup of Nations. Ghana hardly lose their second group games at the Afcon and it was the reason why Morocco and Comoros defeated them but Gabon failed.

Exactly seven years ago today (January 23, 2015), Ghana defeated Algeria 1-0 in the second group game of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, thanks to captain Asamoah Gyan who had returned from the sick bed.

Gyan’s late goal revived Black Stars’ campaign after losing 2-1 to Senegal in the opening game.

This goes a long way to confirm that the Black Stars are always favorite to win their second game of every group at the Afcon and worse will be a stalemate.

Ghana XI vs Algeria in 2017:

Razak Brimah-GK, Harrison Afful, Baba Rahman, Jonathan Mensah, Daniel Amartey, Afriyie Acquah, Agyemang Badu, Christian Atsu, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Asamoah Gyan(c)

‘Ghana lacks quality striker like Asamoah Gyan for 2021 Afcon,’ Milovan tells Ghanaians to lower expectations.

The Serbian has suggested that Ghanaians should lower their expectations since the Black Stars lack a potential striker like Asamoah Gyan

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has advised Ghanaians to lower expectations as the Black Stars seek to gain qualification from the group stage of the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The Black Stars have struggled in the two games played so far and are yet to record a win after losing to Morocco and sharing the spoils with Gabon.

However, they must defeat Comoros in the final game of the group to stand a chance of progressing to the round of 16 as either runners up of Group C or one of the best four third-place countries.

And Milovan believes the squad in-depth cannot be likened to that of 2010 where the Black Stars reached the final of the Afcon and quarterfinals of Fifa World Cup since the team lacks potent strikers like Asamoah Gyan.

“We don’t have a player like Asamoah Gyan. We don’t have that type of a player to change things for the team with small chance,” Milovan said ahead of the game on Tuesday.

“Communication is not a problem and they understand me very well. The problem is just that we didn’t have enough time to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations. We don’t have the same team like 2010. Not enough time for preparations,” he added.

Ghana sit third of Group C with a point and any results apart from a win against Comoros will see them exiting the tournament earlier than expected.

‘Current squad can’t be compared to Black Stars of 2010,’ says Milovan Rajevac ahead of Comoros game

The Black Stars boss has reiterated that the current crop of players can’t be compared to the side he first led to make the country proud

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has suggested that the current crop of players lack quality as compared to the team he once coached for 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and 2010 Fifa World Cup held in South Africa.

The 68-year-old Serbian tactician has come under intense pressure following the Black Stars poor start to the Afcon ongoing in Cameroon.

Ghana, after two games are yet to pick a win and currently sit third of Group C log. The four-time champions need a win at all cost against Comoros in the final Group game on Tuesday in order to stand a chance of making it to the next stage.

Although, a section of Ghanaians have raised concerns about his inability to communicate with the players in English Language and rather pass on information through his interpreter, Milovan says that has never been a problem

“Communication is not a problem and they understand me very well,” Milovan said at the pre-match conference ahead of Tuesday’s game.

“The problem is just that we didn’t have enough time to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations. We don’t have the same team like 2010. Not enough time for preparations,” he added.

Milovan further stressed that Ghana lacks a potent striker like former captain Asamoah Gyan who can change the outcome of a game with even a half chance.

“We don’t have a player like Asamoah Gyan. We don’t have that type of a player to change things for the team with small chance,” he said.

 Ghana left Yaounde on Sunday to Garoua with a flight to pitch camp there for the make or break encounter on Tuesday evening

‘Ghana will narrowly defeat Morocco in Group C opening game,” says Asamoah Gyan

The former Ghana skipper believes the Black Stars will defy all odds to beat Morocco in the opening game of Group C

Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has insisted that the Black Stars will defeat Morocco in the opening game of Group C of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations holding in Cameroon.

According to Gyan, although, the Black Stars are not at their usual best, Morocco do not have the men to defeat them.

“I’m a Ghanaian and would be happy they win against Morocco. A narrow win is a narrow and I know that they will do the job,” Gyan said on Supersport.

Meanwhile, Gyan further stressed that Andre Ayew is a tournament player and Arsenal star Thomas Partey is the best player in the team now.

He also says Kamaldeen Sulemana is the player to watch out for in the game as he has the qualities to change the outcome at any point in the game.
