Ex-England coach Sven Goran Eriksson is confident Asamoah Gyan will replicate the form that saw him call for the signing of the Ghana striker by Chinese giants Shanghai SIPG.
The Black Stars captain scored and created a penalty on his debut on Thursday that saw Shanghai SIPG come from a goal down to defeat Tianjin Teda 2-1.
The 29-year-old, who previously spent four years with Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, was the top scorer in the UAE that convinced the Chinese to swoop for his signature.
In four years at Al Ain he scored 95 times in 83 appearances and won three domestic titles in the process.
His new boss, the former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, believes that Gyan's form in the UAE is proof of his quality.
"From the club he played in Emirates he scored more goals than the games he played so we are all very happy to have him," said Eriksson.
Ghana's record goalscorer also outlined his desire to help his new Chinese side win titles and there is evidence from his spell in the UAE that he is capable of doing that.
Watch Asamoah Gyan score the match winner on his debut for Shanghai SIPG in their come-from-behind 2-1 win over Tianjin Teda on Thursday to go top of the Chinese Super League.
The Ghana captain won a penalty before heading home from close range to seal the points.
