West Brom splash out on Sessegnon and Anichebe

The fee was undisclosed but the English Premier League club said on their website (www.wba.co.uk) that it surpassed what they paid Reading for striker Shane Long in August 2011.

West Brom also splashed out on Everton's Nigeria forward Victor Anichebe for a price that could eventually rise to six million pounds ($9.34 million).

Anichebe, 25, scored 25 goals in 95 appearances for Everton.

Sessegnon, 29, started all but seven of Sunderland's league games in the last two seasons, scoring 14 goals.
