Eliezer Mayenda has left Sunderland on a permanent transfer for a fee of \u00a321.5 million.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

He leaves Sunderland after three seasons on Wearside after making 72 appearances, scoring 12 goals also registering six assists.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mayenda scored some memorable goals in his time at the club most notably the equaliser in the play off final at Wembley against Sheffield United, a game Sunderland went on to win confirming a return to the the Premier League for the club.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

He will be fondly remembered by the Sunderland fans who renamed him Big Man in a terrace seranade often sang in the Roker End.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It will be very interesting to see who Sunderland target as his replacement in the current transfer window.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
