One former Black Cat has hinted he wants to come out of retirement as he eyes a goalscoring landmark in France.

41-year-old Djibril Cisse, who played for teams in England, Greece, Russia and Switzerland during his long career, is eyeing a return to French football’s top-flight to become a Ligue 1 goal scoring centurion.

During his time in Ligue 1 with AJ Auxerre and Marseille, Cisse netted 96 league goals, something he reportedly wants to change, offering to play for free if a club gives him an opportunity: "Being four goals away from 100 in Ligue 1, it doesn't suit me.” Cisse reportedly said. "If a club comes and offers me the chance to play, I will go for free."

Last year, Cisse also hinted at a potential return to the Stadium of Light following Jermain Defoe’s return to the club. During his one year stint on Wearside, Cisse netted ten times for the Black Cats, including a goal against local rivals Newcastle United.
