Sunderland have confirmed the signing of 19-year-old midfielder Abdoullah Ba from French side Le Havre for an undisclosed fee subject to international clearance and the conclusion of the work permit process.
The youngster has represented France across various youth levels and made 18 appearances in Ligue 2 last term as well as five already this campaign.
Ba becomes the second Frenchman to make the move to the Stadium of Light today with the capture of fellow midfielder Edouard Michu from Paris Saint-Germain confirmed earlier today.
