'A replacement for Bellingham'
- Published
Sunderland appear to have pulled off a coup in signing the highly-regarded Senegalese international Habib Diarra, who made his national team debut in March last year.
He has come through the Strasbourg youth system. Last season under Liam Rosenior he made 30 appearances.
He has reportedly signed for a fee rising to 35m Euros - around £30.5m - for a five-year deal.
He's being seen as a replacement for Jobe Bellingham.
