Sunderland sign ex-West Brom striker Anichebe to one-year deal

Sunderland have signed striker Victor Anichebe on a deal until the end of the season.

The 28-year-old Nigerian has been without a club following his release by West Brom in May.

Black Cats boss David Moyes has taken action after being left with just one senior striker, Jermain Defoe, on the books of the Wearside club.

Sunderland's first game with Anichebe in their ranks is the Premier League match against his former club Everton at the Stadium of Light on September 12.
