Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan expects to remain with Al Ain.

Gyan knows there's no way back for him at Sunderland and hopes to sign permanently with the UAE club.

I haven't spoken to anybody [from Sunderland] since I've been here," Gyan told Sport360. "I heard the manager wanted to call me, I waited for his call but no call came… I am still here."
