'I Left Sunderland For Money' - Asamoah Gyan Admits

Former Sunderland forward, Asamoah Gyan has sensationally admitted that he left the club for Dubai due to money.

After his impressive heroics in the 2012 season with the Black Cat, the 33-year-old shockingly left the club for Al Ain.

Gyan joined the Sunderland from French side Rennes in 2010 and went on to score 11 goals in 36 matches.

However, the former Liberty Professionals forward has admitted that the decision to leave the club was financially induced.

“Look, I’m going to be honest here, it was the money. It was too good to turn down but a hidden detail is that Sunderland accepted a £7m loan offer for me from Al Ain before even informing me,” he explained to FourFourTwo

“Then they decided to convince me that the money was very good for a short loan and that the club needed the money. I was enjoying my football but Al Ain offered me wages that instantly made me the best-paid footballer in Africa. I couldn’t resist.

“Pray you never be put in such a situation. It changed everything and I just had to take it and leave it. I don’t regret it though because it made me who I am now. I enjoyed playing at Al Ain, I stayed for four seasons, and it changed my life financially forever.”
