Bayern Munich have lined up Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan as their number one target during the summer and are willing to pay £12m for his signature.
Reports in Germany suggest that Bayern have been keeping a close eye on his development this season and have been impressed with his performances for both club and country.
Gyan has wasted no time settling into his new surrounding at Sunderland following his £13m move from Rennes last summer and has already scored 10 goals this season.
Bayern Munich are hoping the attraction of playing in the Champions League will prove too much for Gyan and they can secure his signature at the end of the season.
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will be desperate to hold onto Gyan and would demand a sizeable fee for the prolific forward if he was to leave the Stadium of Light.
