A source claimed the attack was them “sending a signal that they control the prison”.
Sayers has convictions for robbery and perverting justice over the shooting of a nightclub bouncer.
He was attacked in his cell on April 30.
A source said: “This was a statement by a Muslim gang — if they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone.

“It’s been like a tinderbox since Abedi’s attack — and staff are terrified.”
Abedi, who is serving 55 years for helping his Manchester Arena suicide bomber brother Salman, stabbed and scalded three warders in a kitchen on April 12.
We told last week how lags — said to be mainly Muslims — used weights to attack other inmates at a gym in Frankland.
Of the Sayers attack, Durham Police said: “The victim was taken to hospital and has recovered.”
The Prison Service said police are investigating.
