Top 10 one-season wonders in the Premier League

#7 Asamoah Gyan

Gyan is one of many players in recent times to move to smaller leagues in search of money

Gyan's mostly remembered for smashing the penalty on to the crossbar at the end of extra time of Ghana's 2010 World Cup quarter-final against Uruguay with the scores level. Gyan, who had a spectacular World Cup until then, was signed by Sunderland on the last day of the summer transfer window for a club record fee.

He justified the fee with a brilliant first season at the Stadium of Light, with 10 goals in 31 appearances to steer Sunderland into the top 10.

The next season, however, the Ghana striker made a shock move to UAE side Al Ain as he found the prospect of receiving four times the salary he was earning from playing in the PL too enticing to reject.
