Sunderland sign N'Diaye

Sunderland confirmed the signing of 22-year-old midfielder Alfred N’Diaye from Bursaspor for an undisclosed fee.

N’Diaye has signed a three-and-a-half deal after successfully passing his medical and agreeing personal terms with the club. Sunderland boss Martin O’Neill said he sees defensive midfielder who can also play in the position of the centre-back an excellent addition to the squad, capable to offer more strength in the middle.

This is the first Sunderland’s signing in the January transfer window. The fee is thought to be around £2.5 million.
