Asamoah Gyan "happy" to join Al-Ain from Sunderland

Asamoah Gyan speaks of his happiness at joining Al-Ain on a season-long deal from Sunderland.

Asamoah Gyan has expressed his happiness at joining United Arab Emirates club Al-Ain on a season-long loan deal from Sunderland.

The striker made the switch on Saturday afternoon following reports that he had become unsettled with life at Wearside.

"I'm really happy to be here. Al-Ain is an important club and this is a big challenge for me. There will be a lot of expectations on me, but not pressure," the Ghana international said during a press conference.

"Everybody who has seen me in the World Cup and at Sunderland knows what I am capable of, but this is a new challenge for me as I'm a new player here.

"We have quality players in the club to win games and do well in the championships. We will try to build a winning team."

The 25-year-old joined Sunderland in 2010 from French club Rennes for £13m.
