John Barnes says Asamoah Gyan must stay at Sunderland for another season before considering a move to a bigger club,� the England legend has told GHANAsoccernet.com.
Gyan has been linked with moves to Arsenal, Tottenham and Real Madrid after impressing in his first season with the Black Cats.
He scored 11 goals for Sunderland following his �13-million move from French Rennes.
Despite interest from several clubs, Barnes, the Liverpool legend, says Gyan will continue
�The fact that clubs have been linked with Gyan shows that he has done something in his first season with Sunderland that has impressed them,� Barnes told GHANAsoccernet.com.
�But he has to be careful about making a quick move to a bigger club. There will be no patience for him to continue to develop as he has done at Sunderland.
�He is guaranteed that under Steve Bruce he will continue to develop and there will be patience for him to make mistakes and correct them.
�At a bigger club there will be little patience for him so I suggest he stays at Sunderland for another season. He loves the city and the people of Sunderland like him.�
