The Royals were the least scoring team during the truncated 2019-2020 season and Gyan’s arrival signal’s the club’s intent domestically.
Reacting to the news, Gyan said, “Saying you can challenge for the league is very easy. You can purchase all the best players in the world but without knowing what you like, we cannot be successful”

The former Sunderland forward has started training with his new club as they prepare for the Ghana Premier League season.
