Marseille striker Cisse wants Sunderland revenge

Marseille striker Djibril Cisse hopes to sign for a Premiership club so to take revenge on Sunderland.

Sunderland had agreed a 9million euros (£7.7m) deal with Marseille upon taking Cisse on loan, and the 28-year-old believes he would have provided good value for money.

"They had to pay 9million euros to Marseille, which was £7m at the time and it is now about £8m, but I still don't think that is a lot of money for a striker who is going to score 15 goals," he said.

"I can't take this excuse, that's why I am annoyed. If you want to stay in the Premier League and try to be regulars in the Premier League, you're going to have to pay more than £10m for strikers.

"I am just waiting to see who they buy. Are they going to find a £6m striker or are they going to buy a £12-15m striker?"

Despite his disenchantment at the way things went for him at Sunderland, Cisse admits he would be willing to discuss terms with a Premier League side this summer.

"If I had the chance to come back to another English club, I'd have to face Sunderland and it would be up to me to make them regret their decision," he said.

"Sometimes you have to be strong and show the people that they made a big mistake. Obviously, what I did this season wasn't good enough for Ricky and Niall so we will see next season."
