Asamoah Gyan: Ghana captain moves to UAE side Al Ahli on loan

Asamoah Gyan first played in UAE in 2011, on loan for Al Ain from Sunderland

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has completed a switch to United Arab Emirates side Al Ahli on a season-long loan from China's Shanghai SIPG.

The 30-year-old striker's move came after a proposed move to English Championship club Reading fell through.

Reading confirmed to BBC Radio Berkshire that Gyan would not be joining the club, but would not comment on reports of him failing a medical.

Gyan returns to the Gulf nation having previously played for Al Ain.
