The former Black Stars captain had been linked with a move to Ghana Premier league giants, Asante Kotoko, during the past weeks but Gyan opted for Legon Cities.
The move sees Gyan return to the GHPL for the first time since leaving Liberty Professionals in 2003.
The star forward will be looking to boost the fortunes of Legon Cities, who struggled in the cancelled 2019/2020 season.
Gyan holds the record for the most goals scored for the Black Stars, as well as being Africa’s highest scorer at the World Cup.
In addition to Gyan, Legon Cities have also signed Baba Mahama, David Cudjoe, Michael Ampadu, Foster Braimah, Vincent Adu Gyamfi and Jonah Attuquaye ahead of the upcoming Ghana Premier League season.
