Asamoah Gyan has lauded new Sunderland team-mate Stephane Sessegnon, insisting he has a bright future in the Premier League.
The midfielder arrived on Wearside last month in a £6million move from Paris St Germain.
He has already put in some impressive displays for the Black Cats and has managed to establish himself as a fans’ favourite. None of this surprises Gyan, though, who played alongside him at French football club Rennes.
He said: "He's a fantastic player. I know him from France and he was one of the best players in France.
"He hasn't played for quite a while, but since he came here, he has done well in the Premier League.
"He's a ball juggler and if he is in top shape, he will help the team."
Sessegnon has played three games for Sunderland so far but has been on the losing side on every occasion.
Manager Steve Bruce admits this has disheartened him but he has nothing but positive things to say about the Benin international.
He said: "The kid is disappointed because he has come in and played really, really well in a couple of games and we haven't won a match yet.
"But you can see he has taken to it straight away. I think he will be a big crowd-pleaser - he's a good player, the kid, and hopefully there's a lot more to come from him."
The Black Cats will be hoping to arrest this poor recent run of form when they face Everton at Goodison Park on February 26th.
