Christian Kwesi Annan (Chinese: 安基斯; born 3 May 1978) is a Ghanaian-born Hong Kong professional footballer as a striker. He joined Tai Po in 2006 and is famed in the Hong Kong First Division for his high pace and dribbling skill. He currently plays for Hong Kong Premier League side Pegasus on loan from Kitchee.
Christian Annan arrived in Hong Kong to continue his football career in 2005. Unfortunately, he arrived at a time when most clubs in the First Division had already finished their foreign player signings, and so he joined Eastern, a Second Division club instead.
With 14 goals in 11 matches, including a hat trick against Tai Po FC, Annan successfully gained the attention of his then opponent. When Tai Po FC has successfully obtained their promotion status after the 2005–06 season, they signed Annan immediately.
Although he did not have the same impact in front of goal when compared to his time in the Second Division, Annan bagged 6 goals in 21 matches and became Wofoo Tai Po's top scorer (along with defender Joel), helping the team to successfully avoid relegation . His performances were also thrown into the limelight with his selection into the Hong Kong League XI for the Lunar New Year Cup 2007. With only a brief appearance in the first match against Jamaica, Annan started the next match against Australia U-23, was fouled in the box, gaining a penalty for his team which ultimately tied the match (penalty scored by Keith Gumbs) in injury time.
