“He should concentrate on his politics and leave the sports people alone. He should be ready because I have spoken to my lawyer regarding his irresponsible comment,” Gyan told Hot FM.

"I'm a footballer not a politician, so Mugabe should get that into his head. What he is doing is not journalism, I have a lot of respect for the industry but people like him want to destroy it.

"Mugabe is an irresponsible journalist, he has a psychological problem, those claims are totally false,” Gyan fumed.
