Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has reached an agreement to sign a permanent deal to stay with UAE side Al Ain, the coach of the club has revealed.

The Al Ain boss Cosmin Olaroiu claims Gyan will be at the club next season which means he has agreed a deal to leave Sunderland.

Gyan was on a season-long loan deal from the English side but Al Ain were keen on holding on to the Ghana international after he massively impressed.

Olaroiu has now revealed that Gyan has reached a deal which means he will quit Sunderland.

“From what I know, Asamoah will continue with Al Ain next season,” Olaroiou.

Ghana star Gyan scored 20 league goals in just 17 games.
