Legon Cities captain Fatau Dauda has revealed he will not mind relinquishing the armband to newly-signed Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan.
Gyan, Ghana captain between 2012 and 2019, joined the Royals on domestic Transfer Deadline Day on Saturday, marking a return to the Premier League (GPL) for the first time since 2003.
The 34-year-old played for Liberty Professionals during his first stint which was ended by a move to Seria A side Udinese
“I will not hesitate to relinquish my captaincy to Asamoah Gyan,” Dauda, who played under the captaincy of Gyan for Ghana at multiple tournaments including the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and 2014 World Cup, told Oyerepa Fm. “I don’t need management of Legon Cities to tell me that, he’s my senior and I need to give him that respect unless he doesn’t want it.
“I will give him the band anytime he’s on the pitch.”
Legon are looking to make a strong impact in the GPL in the coming campaign following their struggles last season, their misery ended by the coronavirus outbreak which caused the premature termination of the term.
Legon, formerly known as Wa All Stars, will kick off the 2020-21 league term with a home tie against Berekum Chelsea.
