BREAKING NEWS: Marseille sign Sunderland's Fletcher
Steven Fletcher's time at Sunderland is over after he agreed to join Marseille for the rest of the season before his contract ends.
Marseille have completed the signing of Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher until the end of the season.
The Scotland striker emerged as a surprise target for the Ligue 1 club on transfer deadline day and his move to the Stade Velodrome was confirmed on Monday.
It means Fletcher has likely played his last match for the Premier League strugglers, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
A Sunderland statement read: "Sunderland AFC have confirmed that striker Steven Fletcher has joined French side Olympique Marseille until the end of the season, when his contract with Sunderland expires.
