Veteran coach Joseph Emmanuel Sarpong has revealed that Asamoah Gyan promised to buy him a car but has yet to do so.
The former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak is acknowledged by the Ghana legend as having played a role in his illustrious career. Sarpong was Gyan's high school coach at Accra Academy.
"I was then coaching Dwarfs and he called me to come to his place in Accra, initially, I didn't want to go but he insisted and I went there. We spoke and even shared some memories during our stay at Accra Academy," he told Ernest Brew Smith in an interview.
"He recognized that I was still using the same car I was using when I coached him."
"He promised to buy me a brand-new car when he returns to China and even added that he will customize it in my name and pay all the duties on it," he revealed.
"It's been years and I don't know if I will get the car today or in ten years' time. I don't blame him entirely but the people around him," he insisted.
Gyan has been without a club for a year now after parting ways with Legon Cities.
Gyan released his autobiography earlier this year.
