08/31/2010 - Sunderland, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sunderland signed Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan for a club-record transfer fee of nearly $20 million on Tuesday and gave him a four-year contract.
Sunderland acquired the 24-year-old Gyan from French club Rennes. His signing surpasses the amount Sunderland spent on Darrent Bent last season.
"It's been a long day, but finally I'm happy to be here and my family and friends are also happy for me," Gyan, who finalized his move just before the transfer window closed, said on Sunderland's website. "My family is in England already and I am happy this is the right place for me.
"The Sunderland coach (Steve Bruce) has faith in me because he has been following me for two years now. I am pleased I have the opportunity to come to England."
Gyan scored three goals in the recent FIFA World Cup for Ghana, as the country made the quarterfinals of the tournament before falling to Uruguay in penalty kicks. He has scored 22 goals in 44 matches for Ghana.
Gyan was also a member of Ghana's 2006 World Cup team. He scored the fastest goal of the tournament against the Czech Republic when he scored 68 seconds into the match.
After starting his career in Ghana, Gyan signed with Udinese in Italy and made 39 appearances and had 11 goals, while scoring another 15 on loan at Modena. He joined Rennes in $10 million move in 2008 and scored 14 times in 47 games.
Sunderland also announced midfielder Teemu Tainio has left the club and his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
