Ghana international Asamoah Gyan says the pressure is on to plug the gap left by Darren Bent at Sunderland.But the Black Cats’ £13million record signing reckons he has what it takes to help the Wearsiders recover quickly from Bent’s shock £24m move to Premier League rivals Aston Villa.Steve Bruce’s side start life without the England striker as they travel to Blackpool bidding to maintain their Euro push on Saturday.And eight-goal Gyan said: “There’s definitely pressure because Darren has been the main man scoring a lot.“But I’ve done OK so far and hope it continues. I have to keep showing what I can do. As a forward everyone expects you to score because that’s your job.”Gyan struggled for match fitness after his high-profile arrival from Rennes in September.But the 25-year-old fan favourite is finding his feet in the Premier League, with seven goals in eight starts helping to lift Sunderland up to sixth.Ghana’s World Cup star added: “I’m firing now. I’ve worked hard to get my fitness back up to this stage. It can still be a great season as we all believe in ourselves and know what we’re capable of achieving.”Source: Ghanasoccernet.com
