Asamoah Gyan impressed with 3 goals during the World Cup
Gyan starred for Ghana in the World Cup guiding them to a spot in the quarter finals, before an unlucky turn of events forced the last African team out of the South African tournament. Sunderland beat their previous spending record of £10 million on Darren Bent with a £13.24 million purchase of Gyan. It was obvious to all that after his three goals in the World Cup, Gyan would soon be heading to a big name club, and Sunderland wasted no time in swooping in for the striker.
Gyan, 24, has been described by Steve Bruce, Sunderland’s manager, as an energetic striker with a lot of potential.
“As anyone who has watched Ghana recently or who watched the World Cup will tell you, Asamoah is a real livewire.”
The Ghanian striker is believed to be a replacement for Fraizer Campbell, who is out of action for at least 6 weeks because of a ruptured knee ligament.
