It's just as well playing in the Premier League pays so well. <\/p>\n

However, Asamoah Gyan may wish he featured in England's top flight for longer after a court ordered him to hand over part of his kingdom to his ex-wife. That's after the former Sunderland striker reached the end of a three-year legal battle with Gifty Gyan, whose name couldn't be any more contradictory in hindsight.<\/p>\n

Gyan, 37, was ordered to hand over two cars, two houses and a petrol station he owned as part of his divorce from the woman in question. It's reported the former Black Cat had questioned whether the couple's three children were actually his, but DNA tests proved proof he is indeed the father.<\/p>\n

And as a result, Gyan – who retired from football in June – must also pay 25,000 Ghanaian cedis (\u00a31,729) per month to help pay for sons Rafael, Frederick and Floyd. However, the Ghanaian football icon appeared anything but content with the ruling and raised suspicion after being informed of his fate.<\/p>\n

"If I have 10 pts and I keep quiet cos I've matured, and you have 2 pts and you going find public sympathy, then it's cool," wrote Gyan in response to the court order. "You are very funny. This is deep so think about it."<\/p>\n

Gyan – who last played for Legion Cities in his native Accra in 2021 – was forced to hand over the keys to two properties. One of the properties is located in Ghana's capital, while the other is in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The court made its decision after deciding Gifty had made a 'non-cash contribution' to the houses by caring for and bringing up the former couple's trio of children. Two of the tykes were born before Gyan and Gifty got married in 2013.<\/p>\n
