Victor Anichebe excited to link up with Jermain Defoe at Sunderland

By , Staff Reporter
Victor Anichebe says that he is looking forward to linking up with Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe this season.

New Sunderland signing Victor Anichebe has claimed that he is looking forward to playing alongside Jermain Defoe up front.

The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Black Cats on Friday as part of a free transfer.

The former West Bromwich Albion player, who worked under manager David Moyes at Everton, is hopeful of learning from Defoe.

"I was speaking to JD before - everyone knows he's such a great player," Anichebe told the club's official website. "We played against Sunderland last season and I was watching from the side, just watching Defoe, his movement.

"He is so strong for a small guy and you know when he gets a chance he's either going to hit the target or score. I told him that he's one of the reasons I came here because I feel I can learn a lot from him."

Defoe is 10th in the Premier League's top goalscorers list.
