Sunderland and Thomas Meunier
Wednesday
Sunderland have signed Belgium defender Thomas Meunier on a two-year deal after his Lille departure. The 34-year-old arrives with more than 550 senior club appearances, 83 Belgium caps and experience at Paris St-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Trabzonspor.
Sunderland see Meunier as a leader for their Premier League return and first European campaign in 53 years. He becomes their first signing after Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Neil left, adding defensive quality and dressing-room experience.
