Newly appointed Sunderland manager Martin Oââ¬â¢Neil has confirmed considering options to return Asamoah Gyan to the Stadium of Light.
All the ââ¬Ëmessââ¬â¢ at the club has been wiped clean by the new boss who is looking to get all hands on deck including the Ghana striker as the Black Cats mount a charge to avoid the drop.
Gyan, 26, became public enemy no.1 on Tyneside with a ã6m loan move to UAE club Al Ain where he ended up tripling his wages to a reported ã 120,000 a week.
And though immediate past manager Steve Bruce virtually slammed the door on Gyanââ¬â¢s return, Oââ¬â¢Neil insists it is an issue he will be monitoring with keen interest.
"It's something I'll address. I have to find out exactly where we stand on that,â⬠the ex Aston Villa boss said said.
"His position will definitely be looked at."
Gyan on the other hand has extended support to the new boss by saying: "I wish our new manager Martin O'Neill all the best."
