Asamoah Gyan attended Ghana’s Accra Academy and graduated with honors. He aspired to be one of the world’s best football players since he was a young boy. He eventually got seriously into soccer and won laurels before joining the Liberty Professionals. As a person who grew up fascinated by the style of the game like Ronaldinho and Zidane. In 2003, the footballer joined Liberty Professionals and scored 10 goals in 16 games in the Ghana Premier League in his debut season, receiving acclaim from numerous sports critics for his football prowess. For five years Gyan had been playing for Freedom Professionals and achieved major milestones in raising his name to top legends. The soccer player joined the Ligue 1 club Rennes  in France on 11 July 2008. He was their striker and started to make a name for himself. Gyan stayed at the club for a total of two years. Gyan had previously represented two separate leagues in Ghana and France as a rising star. This time, on August 31, 2010, he joined Sunderland of the Premier League, which is widely regarded as the most competitive football league in the world. Gyan made 36 appearances for Sunderland, scoring 11 goals and winning his place in the starting lineup. Due to his ball control skill and intelligence as a player, he had become one of the most feared strikers. On the 10th of September in 2011, Gyan joined Al Ain of the UAE Pro-League on loan from Sunderland.  Gyan had an impressive first season, scoring 24 goals in 27 matches. Gyan unleashed his top goal-scoring attitude the following season, becoming the league’s top goalscorer while helping Al Ain retain the UAE Pro-League crown.

Gyan set a record of scoring 28 goals in 32 matches. But as it seemed, the footballer was the only player able to go after his record in the 2013–14 season – he had 44 goals in 40 matches.
