Gyan soon to realise dream of playing in the EPL

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has arrived in England to undergo medicals ahead of him imminent move to Sunderland.

The 24 year old has been a long time target for Black Cats manager Steve Bruce who appears to be getting his wish alas in a deal further catalysed by the weekend’s injury to on loan striker Fraizer Campbell.

Gyan on the other hand, did his reputation no harm at all during the 2010 World Cup – where his three goals helped the Black Stars to an historical quarter final finish.

The agile striker who joined Rennes from Udinese in 2008 will sign a four-year contract after passing his medicals in a deal rumoured to be worth £12m before the transfer window shuts at 6pm on Tuesday.
