Sunderland Transfer News: David Moyes seals deal for free agent
VICTOR ANICHEBE has joined Sunderland on a deal until the end of the season.
Victor Anichebe was a free agent
The Nigerian joins the Wearsiders two days after the summer transfer window closed.
He said: “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.”
The 28-year-old reunites with manager David Moyes after the pair previously worked at Everton together.
Anichebe's arrival follows the news Fabio Borini will miss the next three months after tearing an adductor muscle.
