Sunderland have completed the signing of Didier Ndong for a club-record £13.6 million from Lorient.
Ndong, 22, made 46 appearances for the Ligue 1 team since January 2015 and breaks Sunderland's previous record transfer -- the £13m they paid for Asamoah Gyan six years ago.
Speaking after the completion of his move, Ndong said: "I am very proud and happy to sign for Sunderland. This is a new adventure for me and to play in the Premier League is a dream come true.
