Sunderland are set to bolster their defensive options after agreeing a £25.6m fee with Toulouse for left-back Dayann Methalie, according to BBC News.
Details of the agreement remain limited, but the fee suggests the Black Cats are pushing ahead with significant investment as they look to strengthen their squad. Methalie's move from the French club would mark a notable statement of intent from Sunderland, though personal terms and the finer points of the deal have yet to be confirmed.
