Al Ain Sports and Cultural Club officially introduced their new signing, Asamoah Gyan, to the media in a press conference held yesterday afternoon at the Khalifa bin Zayed Stadium

Gyan has signed a rolling one-year loan contract for Al Ain and was welcomed to the club by HE Awad bin Hasoum Al Darmaki, Al Ain's CEO, who was full of praise for the Ghanaian international and said that his experience and skill would be a huge asset to the club.

He added that Al Ain were the first club in the UAE to sign a major international player - the Argentinean Scocco - and they had now come full circle with the signing of Gyan.

The value of the contract was not revealed but it is thought to be substantially larger than the player's previous contract at the English Premier League club Sunderland.
