Didier Ndong 'nearing Torino move'

Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong is reportedly nearing a move to Serie A outfit Torino.

Ndong became Sunderland's record signing when he moved to the Stadium of Light from Lorient in 2016.

The 23-year-old has made 54 appearances in all competitions for the Black Cats, but he spent the second half of the 2017-18 campaign on loan with Watford in the Premier League.

Ndong failed to make a single appearance for the Hornets, however, before returning to Wearside.

Cardiff City have been strongly linked with a move for Ndong, but according to Sky Sports News, the Gabon international is heading for Torino in a £6.6m deal.

Sunderland will play League One football next season following their relegation from the Championship.
