Experienced Belgium right-back Thomas Meunier has officially completed a move to Premier League side Sunderland on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract at Lille. The defender has signed a two-year deal with Regis Le Bris’s team, bringing a vast wealth of European experience and a rich history of winning silverware to the Stadium of Light.

Everything you need to know about how to watch Sunderland in the Premier League and all other competitions.

Brian Brobbey would be a “great signing for Manchester United”, former Sunderland defender Matt Kilgallon has told GOAL, with a £50 million ($66m) transfer making sense for all concerned. The powerful Netherlands international striker is currently on 2026 World Cup duty, but he is now Premier League proven and could be on the move at club level before the latest window closes.

Cole Palmer appears to have given his seal of approval to Chelsea’s pursuit of former Arsenal star Granit Xhaka, as new manager Xabi Alonso looks to reshape his midfield. The Blues are reportedly in discussions to bring the Switzerland international back to London from Sunderland in a move that would prioritise experience over youth.
