Sunderland have pulled off a major coup in the summer transfer window with the acquisition of Ivorian winger Simon Adingra from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The deal, worth €21 million plus €3 million in add-ons, marks one of the biggest transfer moves in the club’s recent history. The 22-year-old has agreed to personal terms and is expected to undergo his medical in the coming hours.

Adingra is already en route to join the Black Cats, with the move set to significantly bolster Sunderland’s attacking options ahead of the new campaign.

The exciting winger, known for his blistering pace and flair, will become a key addition to manager’s plans as #SAFC push for top-flight promotion.
