Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has signed for United Arab Emirates side Al-Ain on loan.
The Ghanaian joined Sunderland from French club Rennes in August 2010 for £13m.
But on Friday, Sunderland boss Steve Bruce claimed “parasites” turned Gyan’s head after his goal in the 1-1 draw with England at Wembley in March.
And on Saturday it was announced that the striker, 25, was on his way to the UAE.
Bruce said: “Anyone who has seen Asamoah play will know that he hasn’t been himself in recent months. This option suits all parties at the present time and the club is well-protected in the deal.
“Asamoah has three years remaining on his contract and of course my wish would be that he finds his spark again and we see him in red and white stripes next season in the form that first attracted us to him.”
Throughout the transfer window, Gyan was linked with a move to a big European club.
On Friday Bruce blamed agents for turning Gyan’s head.
