Sunderland require Sessegnon to become a goalscorer

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill has urged Benin international Stephane Sessegnon to become a regular goalscorer rather than provider. The £6million signing from Paris St Germain in January 2011 has struggled this campaign but now looks to be getting back to his top form.

O'Neill said: "He is capable of scoring more goals than he does and he himself, with that ability he possesses, should be really looking at double figures per season.

"While he sometimes maybe thinks that he is more of an assist player, I think he should be able to do some of the things that he conjured up on Sunday against Fulham."
