Top ten returnees to the Ghana Premier League

For some players, the commencement of the Ghana Premier League on November 14 will be the start of a new path in their careers.

Their first matches in the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League will be the first time they will be competing for clubs in the league.

But for some players, the resumption of the league will officially confirm their return to a league they once played in and excelled in before flying out to seek greener pastures.

GhanaWeb brings you the top ten returnees who are expected to light up the league

Asamoah Gyan to Legon Cities

Undoubtedly the biggest move of the transfer window. After flirting with Kotoko throughout the window, Gyan joined Legon Cities on deadline day.

The Black Stars striker signed a one-year deal with the club after they agreed to his demands.

Gyan will lead the lines for Legon Cities when the league returns and his rich experience will be key for the Royals who suffered in the truncated season.

Gyan is returning to the league, seventeen years after leaving Liberty Professionals.

Patrick Razak to Hearts

After two years away from the club, Razak returned to Hearts of Oak as a free agent.
The 26-year-old speedster has signed a three-year deal with the Phobians after terminating his deal with Guinean side Horoya AC.

Hearts are determined to end their trophy drought which has spanned more than ten years and Razak could prove a key player in their bid.

Before leaving Ghana in 2013, Muniru played for Liberty Professionals.
