Gyan faces stiff competition as Shangai SIPG signs Hulk

The Captain of the Black Stars Asamoah Gyan will be facing stiff competition as multiple sources are today claiming that his club Shanghai SIPG have completed the signing of Zenit St. Petersburg forward Hulk for €55 Million.

Gyan whose season has been marred by injuries has scored three goals having made 10 appearances so far in the season.

Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson seeks to rejuvenate his striking forces as his side are struggling in the Chinese super league having gained four points from a maximum 15 points.
Hulk on the other hand moved to the Russian side in 2012 for €60m, but in recent times has been linked with a move away from the Krestoksvy Stadium.
It will be his second spell in Asia, having spent three years in Japan earlier in his career.
Shanghai SIPG finished second in the CSL last season, but have thus far struggled, residing in fourth place and just outside the AFC Champions League places.
