Steve Bruce: Asamoah Gyan the flashiest player I managed

Former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has singled out Asamoah Gyan as the most flamboyant player he ever coached during his time at the club.Gyan, the former Black Stars captain, joined Sunderland in 2010 for a club-record fee of £13 million.Bruce, who was in charge at the time, was impressed by Gyan's style and personality."Without question, we had a kid called Asamoah Gyan who we signed at Sunderland," Bruce said in a TikTok Q&A challenge."He was the flashiest player I've ever managed."However, Gyan's time at Sunderland was relatively short-lived. After just one season, he secured a loan move to Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates, which eventually became a permanent transfer.During his time at Sunderland, Gyan made 34 appearances and scored 10 goals in the 2010/2011 Premier League season.While his time at the club was brief, his impact and flashy style left a lasting impression on Bruce.Gyan retired in 2023 as Ghana's all-time top scorer and also the African player with the most goals in the World Cup.
