Cats ace issues future pledge

by Setanta Staff , 12 February 2012 Cats ace issues future pledge

Stephane Sessegnon says he is happy with Sunderland and has played down talk of a move to Arsenal.


The Frenchman has found his form since Martin O'Neill took over from Steve Bruce and after firing home five goals, speculation has started to mount suggesting he could move on.

Saturday's opponents Arsenal have been heavily linked but the player says he is happy at the Stadium of Light and has no thoughts about moving on to pastures new.

"Interest from some bigger English clubs? I don't think about that so far," Sessegnon told L'Equipe. "Above all I am thinking to score and assist. We will talk about my future again at the end of the season."

However it seems as though a return to Paris St Germain would interest him more as the club remains firmly in his heart.

"The club deserves to do great things and have big players," he added. "Even though I left a year ago now, I always love Paris, and I still have friends there like Guillaume Hoarau, I regularly talk to him."

Martin O'Neill will be planning one or two changes in the summer but Sessegnon will be firmly in his plans and he will be doing all he can to keep hold of the striker.
