http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Asamoah-Gyan-c6791, the 25-year-old Sunderland striker, revealed he did not intend on making a move away in the summer, pledging his future to the English Premier League side.
It has been reported that fellow Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City are interested in signing the forward.
The sides stepped up their chase when they were informed that the player had been made available for transfer in this summer’s transfer window.
However, Gyan made it very clear he wished to remain at the Stadium of Light and that he was “fully committed” to the Black Cats.
Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn also rejected claims that the player was for sale and revealed he hoped Gyan would continue on with the club.
Gyan said in an interview:
“I am not leaving Sunderland and I am not interested in these rumours in the newspapers and on the internet.
I am fully committed to Sunderland because I http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Love-c22466 the institution and traditions of this club.”
