Sunderland forward Stephane Sessegnon is reportedly poised to leave the club as part of manager Paolo Di Canio's summer clear-out.

The Italian boss will overhaul the Black Cats squad following their disappointing Premier League campaign last season in which they just escaped relegation.

Despite being one of his side's better performers last season, the Benin international has been earmarked as one of the players to be sold this summer, reports The Journal.

Sessegnon scored seven goals for the Black Cats last season in 39 appearances.
