Currently in top form with English Premier League side Sunderland, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Benin-c2852 midfielder Stephane Sessegnon is attracting a lot of interest from Ligue 1 giants Olympique de Marseille along with Liverpool FC
Since the appointment of Martin O’Neill as the new manager of English Premier League side Sunderland, the Black Cats have gone four matches unbeaten in the league and are finally starting to come back to their old selves after a devastating start to the
Premier League season.
The Benin international distinguished himself by supplying Ji-Dong with the assist that handed Sunderland a 1-0 win over Manchester City. The midfielder was then crucial in the club’s 3-2 win over Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314. A few days back, Sunderland defeated
Wigan Athletic 4-1 and the former Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal in that game.
English media, Metro now claims that the 27-year-old is now attracting considerable interest from fellow Premier League side Liverpool FC and French Ligue 1 giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127.
Olympique de Marseille would be without the services of Ghana international Andre Ayew for much of January and February as the winger will be representing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ghana-c2905 in the African Cup of Nations. Didier Deschamps sees Sessegnon as an ideal replacement and could
be tempted by making a move for him.
However, signing the former PSG man might not be easy for Les Phoceens. Reports claim that Sunderland are unwilling to go below 18 million Euros for the services of the midfielder.
Marseille are willing to pay just 9.7 million Euros for Sessegnon as the club’s financial issues don’t sanction a big-money move.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC on the other hand, might have a better chance of signing the midfielder. The Reds boss, Kenny Dalglish is reportedly willing to meet Sunderland’s valuation of Sessegnon and is even willing to bring the player at Anfield through a player exchange
deal.
It has been reported that Liverpool might offer Sunderland the services of Netherlands international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 plus cash in a bid to temp Sunderland into selling their prized asset.
Kuyt has played only a peripheral role so far this season and might consider a move away from Liverpool in a bid to get some game time in order to represent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in the upcoming European Championship.
