Sunderland FC have signed Nigeria international, Victor Anichebe until the end of the season. The 28-year-old became a free agent after he was released by West Brom at the end of last season.

He told safc.com: “I’m really happy to be here at a great club. I have a lot of good friends here and everyone knows that I know the manager really well. He brought me through as a young player and was a big factor in me coming here. I had a few options in England and Europe but the manager was a huge pull for me. He knows me inside out and I feel like he can get the best out of me.”
