Sunderland AFC have completed the signing of Nigerian striker Victor Anichebe.
The 28-year-old joins the Black Cats on a deal until the end of the season, and becomes manager, David Moyes’ ninth signing of the summer.
Anichebe has made over 130 appearances in the Premier League in his time under Moyes at Everton and a further 55 appearances with West Bromwich Albion between 2013 and 2016.
After signing for Sunderland AFC, Anichebe 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.”
