Stephane Sessegnon says he wants to stay with Sunderland.

Despite speculation linking him with a series of clubs, no formal offers have materialised and Sessegnon insists his future lies on Wearside.

He told the Sunderland Echo: "The speculation is okay, I have no problem with that. But I'm happy at Sunderland.

"We have worked well in pre-season and hopefully we can continue like this. I'm enjoying it at Sunderland and my mind is for Sunderland now."
