But official quotes from Sunderland Manager Ricky Sbragia suggests otherwise and he can persuade Djibril to stay, the French international has also said on at least three separate occasions and been quoted hinting that he would welcome a deal to stay with Sunderland AFC.

Sbragia said, "If we're safe with six games to go he can speak with Niall Quinn about what we'll do for him,"

"If he scores 15 or 20 goals why look for someone else?"

"I know Nicolas Anelka went to Bolton and did well, but I always thought he was set on climbing the ladder."

"Djibril could be the same, but I hope we can persuade him to stay."
