Sunderland Secure Bonsu Bah's Signature for £4.8M

While Christopher Bonsu Baah is not a left winger and cannot replace Jack Clarke, the 19 year old Ghanaian right wing should help add a new threat to Sunderland's attack to make Clarke's absence hurt a little less. Sunderland paid the player's £4.8M release clause and inked him to a £7.6K weekly wage to get him to leave KCC Genk. He will get the #20 shirt and start as a backup for Patrick Roberts, but is seen as the future on the right flank.

Igor Silva Joins Sunderland from Lorient for £1.2M

After selling Hume earlier in the window, Sunderland needed cover in the right back role for Pembele. They've got that now in Igor Silva. The 27 year old Brazilian joins from FC Lorient. He's highly skilled on the ball capable of playing as a right back, right wing back or even a right midfielder in the right system. He's a welcome addition to the team and will wear the #22 shirt for the rest of the season.
