Sessegnon impresses Gyan

Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan is predicting a bright Barclays Premier League future for new team-mate Stephane Sessegnon. The 26-year-old Benin midfielder arrived at the Stadium of Light in a £6million switch from Paris St Germain in January, and has already impressed during his few weeks on Wearside. Sessegnon's form, however, has come as no surprise to Gyan, who saw him at close hand during his own spell in France with Rennes. He said: "He's a fantastic player. I know him from France and he was one of the best players in France. "He hasn't played for quite a while, but since he came here, he has done well in the Premier League. "He's a ball juggler and if he is in top shape, he will help the team."
