Sunderland have officially confirmed the signing of 24-year-old French centre-back Dayan Metali from Toulouse.
The defender has signed a long-term contract with the club, which will keep him at the Stadium of Light until the summer of 2031.
The transfer fee is reported to be €28 million guaranteed, with an additional €2 million in bonuses. Despite concerns arising from the need for additional medical tests, which delayed the move as Metali temporarily returned to France, Sunderland's hierarchy pushed forward to secure the signing after the player's health was cleared by doctors.
