Sunderland sign Timothee Pembele on five-year deal from PSG

"Timothee possesses a range of attributes that we wanted to add to our squad this summer, which will build depth and add competition within the group," said Kristjaan Speakman.

"The fact he has chosen to commit his long-term future to our club is a testament to our continued progress and we look forward to helping him settle into life at Sunderland AFC.

"We will be patient with him as he builds his fitness and then competes for a place in our team, but we are delighted to welcome Timothee to Wearside and believe he can become an important player for us."
