The former Ghanaian international striker Asamoah Gyan has spoken about his spell in the Premier League, which he describes as the culmination of a lifelong dream. Made widely known by his standout performances at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Gyan joined Sunderland from Rennes for a then-record fee of £13 million. A high-profile transfer that propelled him into the English top flight.
The striker did not delay in making his mark, scoring on his very first appearance for the Black Cats against Wigan Athletic on 11 September, after coming on as a substitute for Danny Welbeck. From the moment I arrived, I felt ready. I scored in my first match, and from there, everything started to go positively. In an interview with former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, Gyan spoke about how playing in the Premier League had long been a goal. « I had the possibility to stay at Rennes, but I felt that it was the right moment to take the plunge and attempt the adventure in England. »
