O'Neill wants to keep Sessegnon at Sunderland

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is hoping to convince key playmaker Stephane Sessegnon that his future lies on Wearside.

The Benin star, 27, was signed by ex-boss Steve Bruce for £6m from Paris St-Germain only a year ago but is unsettled with his family still living in France.

O'Neill said: "I'll speak to Sessegnon. He has great ability and I'd love him to settle here."
