PAY ME OR I GO TO FIFA, GYAN WARNS VOVOVO FC

MBABANE – Former Ghana Under-20 player Ernest Gyan is ready to report Vovovo to CAF and FIFA for unfulfilled promises.

The player was in the country to try his luck with MTN National First Division Champions but all was not rosy as the player allegedly said they were accommodated in a deplorable house. He said the team got to know about him through his South African based agent Paaa Bright. “My agent in South Africa arranged everything on my behalf to have the trial-out with the team in Eswatini,” Gyan said. The player who is a cousin to former Black Stars forward Asamoh Gyan, is already back home in his native country Ghana.

He said he wanted to take the matter further as he thought the team did not fulfill the promise they made of paying him the money he used to buy air tickets. “I will meet my lawyer tomorrow and give him feedback on what happened while I was in Eswatini. I will also show him photos of where we were accommodated,” he said. He further said after the discussion with his lawyer he will then report Vovovo to CAF and FIFA for help regarding the matter.

logistics

“My lawyer is the one who is going to help me process the logistics of taking the team to FIFA, as I am not well versed with these issues,” he said. The other player who came with Gyan, another Ghanaian Ernest Avissey did not return to Ghana but he is still in the country with the Motshane based side. He said he would be leaving Eswatini this week as per his plane ticket. “My return is on the sixth so I will be leaving too,” Avissey said. Meanwhile, his agent Bright said he was not happy about the treatment that was given to his players while there were in Eswatini.

promised

He said he was the one who paid for the players’ travelling expenses which the local side promised to pay back. He further said, the team owed  him over E20 000 for the air tickets as well as accommodation for the players while in the Kingdom of Eswatini. “The tickets to and from Swaziland (Eswatini) cost us a huge amount around E21 000. We want our money back, we don’t want anything to deal with them because we saw that they were unprofessional” the agent said.
