Fatau Dauda Ready To Handover Captain’s Armband To Asamoah Gyan At Legon Cities

Goalkeeper for Ghana Premier League outfit Legon Cities, Fatau Dauda has iterated he will not hesitate to hand over the captain’s arm band to legendary Ghanaian forward Asamoah Gyan.

Gyan, Ghana’s all time top scorer, joined the capital-based money bags on transfer deadline day much to the chagrin of most Asante Kotoko faithfuls.

His move has sparked a renewed hope and interest for the local league. Gyan, who remains the general captain of the senior men’s national team despite his absence from the squad since last year’s Africa Cup of Nations, has been mooted to take over the captaincy armband from Fatau Dauda.

Reacting to the school of thought of Gyan’s pedigree and clouts, Fatau Dauda told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM:

“I will not hesitate to relinquish my captaincy to Asamoah Gyan. 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.”

Gyan is expected to bring his expertise in front of goal interlaced with his exposure and experience to bare as the Royals aim high for the upcoming season.
