Stephane Sessegnon feels "pressure to perform" at West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion forward Stephane Sessegnon has admitted that he feels "pressure" to do well at The Hawthorns following his arrival from Sunderland.

The 29-year-old left the Stadium of Light for £6m on the final day of the transfer window, making the forward the club's record signing.

"There is a certain pressure to perform very well because of the price tag," the Birmingham Mail quotes Sessegnon as saying.

"But it's a positive pressure because it shows the club think I'm worth it. I believe I can bring more to the club. This is still the settling-in period and I will show more as time goes by. I am obviously very pleased the fans like me."

Sessegnon has found the net twice since joining the Baggies in the summer.
