Asamoah Gyan will finally quit Sunderland for the United Arab Emirates in a £7million switch.

The Ghana striker, 26, is expected to seal a £20m, three-year deal with Al-Ain in the next 48 hours.

Gyan joined the UAE champs 10 months ago in a loan that netted the Black Cats £6m.

They will recoup the rest of a club-record £13m outlay when the £130,000-a-week deal goes through.
