PSG set to rival Arsenal for Sunderland playmaker Stephane Sessegnon The 26 year-old moved to Sunderland from PSG for £6 million in January 2011, but his former club have since been taken over by the Qatar Investment Authority, who have given the Parisian club huge financial backing. However, he has enjoyed playing in the Premier League and knows the superior transport links to Paris from London would make it easier for his family to visit and vice-versa. Sunderland would love to keep their playmaker and Martin O'Neill, their manager, has not been short of superlatives to describe his performances since he took over the reins in December, but they also ultimately know they will not be able to hold on to him if he decides he wants to leave. O'Neill has denied receiving any inquiries for Sessègnon, who was outstanding in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City last weekend, but both Arsenal and PSG are likely to firm up their interest as soon as the season has come to a close.
