Ghana captain  Asamoah Gyan has debunked media reports suggesting that he failed his medical with English Championship side Reading.

According to him “the reports about the failed medical were unprofessional” and “untrue”

Gyan moved straight to the UAE to sign for Al Ahli on a season-long loan from his mother club Shanghai SIPG following news that he would require eight more weeks to reach full fitness with the English Championship side.

The 30-year old who returned to Ghana on Thursday morning for the AFCON qualifier against Rwanda, noted in an interview with Joy Sports noted that he never failed his medical at Reading.

He said the deal with Reading was practically done and was moments away from signing but when the club demanded he skipped the upcoming AFCON tournament, he walked away.

“I went there [Reading]. I did the medical; the journalists, their set-up, everything was set and I was about to sign but then we had a conversation [that] i didn’t want to agree.

“We had a misunderstanding there so I got upset and left. I did not fail the medical”

“It was the following day [Tuesday] that I read an article that I had failed the medical. I felt funny and upset…” 

Gyan added that “Reading’s demands were disrespectful" so he "walked away.
