SUNDERLAND, England (AP)—Premier League club Sunderland says striker Asamoah Gyan is joining United Arab Emirates side Al Ain on a season-long loan.
The 25-year-old Ghana international became Sunderland’s record signing when he arrived at the Stadium of Light for 13 million pounds ($20 million) from French club Rennes just over a year ago, but has failed to settle.
Sunderland coach Steve Bruce hopes the deal will help Gyan “find his spark again” and has left the door open for the striker to return at the end of the loan.
Al Ain could not be reached for comment, but UAE media had previously reported that club’s officials were in talks with Sunderland about the player.
