Sunderland's on loan striker Asamoah Gyan has not made the move to Middle Eastern side Al-Ain for money, insisting that he was more attracted to the prospect of playing in a different country.
Gyan had been linked with a move from Sunderland for several weeks, but in a last minute twist joined Al-Ain instead of Galatasaray.
Gyan revealed: âIâm still a player of Sunderland,â he said. âI didnât have any confrontation with anyone. We are still all right. I was cool with the manager.
âPeople say I moved because of money.
âYou need to be happy â although Iâm not saying I wasnât happy at Sunderland or I wasnât happy in the Premier League.
âI had to decide with my family and everything, and they were all right with my decision, so I had to just move.
âIt helped myself and Sunderland as well.
âAlthough Iâm still a player of Sunderland. I came on loan, so Iâll see how my future lies as Al Ain is an important club in Asia. Iâm really, really happy to be here.â
