Black Cat Le Tallec

Sunderland manager Mick McCarthy has spoken of his delight after securing the services of Anthony Le Tallec on a season long loan deal.

Le Tallec has joined the Black Cats for the coming campaign after being told by Rafael Benitez he wouldn't be assured of too many first team games at Anfield.

McCarthy has revealed he wanted to sign the 20 year old Frenchman last season and is thrilled to have finally got his man.

"Le Tallec was one last season we enquired about and he went off to St Etienne," said McCarthy.

"We've been in touch with Liverpool for quite a while to see who they would let out on loan and we've got an exciting and versatile player who will do well for us."

This is the second season that Le Tallec has gone on a season long loan, although he return early last season.
