Report: Stephane Sessegnon wants to leave Sunderland

Sunderland forward Stephane Sessegnon wants to leave the club and return to France, according to a report.

The Benin international is unsettled at the Stadium of Light despite signing a new four-year contract last season.

Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio will allow Sessegnon to leave the club although he will want at least £8m for one of his star players, reports The People.

Marseille are reportedly interested in the 29-year-old, who scored seven goals for Sunderland in the Premier League in their last campaign.
