Gyan, who joined Stade Rennais in 2008, scored two goals against Grenoble in the Ligue 1 on September 19, 2009. His first goal came in the first minute before netting a penalty in the 61st minute of the 4-0 win.

He went on to become a mainstay at the club before a big money move to England to join Sunderland.

Kamaldeen's early season form comes as no surprise after European giants including Manchester United and Ajax went in for his signature in the summer.

But the ex-FC Nordsjaelland player chose to move to France for more play time.

On September 22, 2021, the Right to Dream Academy star was unplayable on the flanks for Rennais, scoring two in three minutes.

His outstanding display has earned him a place in the French Ligue 1 Team of the Week by French tabloid L'Equipe.

He was also in Whoscored.com's team of the week, beating the likes of Naymar and Mbappe to the best eleven of the week.
