Sunderland have wrapped up the permanent signing of Belgian midfielder Jules Ahoka from Royal Antwerp for a rumoured £8 million cost. This agreement signals the club's third summer arrival. Medical checks and documentation were finalised on Monday prior to the deal being sealed. Some media outlets have labelled the midfielder as a likely Brazilian wonderkid.
Sunderland club director Florent Ghisolfi commented on the new addition in comments to Chronicle Live and Sunderland Echo. BBC Sport and The Northern Echo confirmed the switch earlier today. Transfermarkt has already updated Ahoka's profile to show the transfer.
