The father of the Ghana star says he could be heading to court over 'false reports' on an alleged revelation on his son�s real age.
George Baffuor Gyan, father of Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan, says he could take legal actions against a media house that ran a report quoting him to have said the Black Stars striker was actually 40 years of age.
The Shanghai SIPG forward marked his 30th birthday with a lavish celebration at his multi-million dollar �Basilica de Baby Jet� mansion in Accra on Saturday. A host of celebrities and A-list public personalities were in attendance.
Days after the party, a local news portal reported that Gyan�s father had expressed disdain on his son�s announcement of his age at the party as 30.
�I am very shocked by these reports,� George told Montie FM.
�How and where did I say that Asamoah Gyan is 40? How old is even my first born?
�I have never granted an interview with anyone or any media house. I have four children with the first being a lady and the last being Asamoah.
�I just can�t understand how someone will make such a publication. Perhaps, these reports are motivated by jealousy because I just can�t understand.�
George added that he could go to court over the issue.
�It is very clear that some people want to use all means necessary to destroy my son but he is blessed and no one can destroy him,� George said.
�I have reported the issue to my lawyer to look into it. We have to take serious issues with this report as it is a very dangerous plot to disgrace my son.�
Asamoah is Ghana�s all-time top scorer with 48 goals as well as Africa�s highest scorer at the Fifa World Cup with six goals.
