SUNDERLAND, England (AP) — Sunderland has broken its transfer record to sign Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan from French club Rennes on a four-year contract.

The Premier League side's website says that it paid "in excess of 13 million pounds" ($20 million) for the 24-year-old Gyan as the transfer window closed Tuesday.

Gyan's first season with Rennes saw him score only one league goal as he had recurring knee problems. But he scored 13 league goals in 27 starts for Rennes last season.

Gyan was Ghana's star performer as the team reached the World Cup quarterfinals.
