GHANA’s Asamoah Gyan appears to have ruled out a return to English Premier League club Sunderland. Gyan has completed an initial one-year loan deal from Sunderland at Abu Dhabi club Al Ain, and says negotiations are ongoing to extend the deal.

The 27-year-old striker has told a radio station in Ghana that at the moment he is only “thinking of Al Ain”. “We are still in negotiations so hopefully I might stay at Al Ain,” Gyan said.

“I have done a great job. Definitely people will like me to stay. Personally I am also happy over there.” Gyan enjoyed a successful loan period at Al Ain, scoring 19 goals to finish top-scorer as his club won the league championship.
