Sunderland transfer news: Yann M’Vila deal finally done as David Moyes manages to get midfielder back on permanent deal

Yann M’Vila is on his way to Sunderland.

The Wearside club have finally negotiated a permanent deal with Rubin Kuzan for the French midfielder who spent last season on loan at the Stadium of Light.

The two clubs have been haggling over the £8m valuation for a player who is out of contract in January.

But Sunderland David Moyes is desperate to bolster his squad and is willing to get closer to the Russian club’s price.

M’Vila, who has been frozen out for the last month, is currently on his way from Heathrow to Newcastle to complete the move.

M’Vila played 36 Premier League games for Sunderland last season, scoring just the one goal.

The Black Cats earlier broke their club transfer record by bringing Didier Ndong to the club from Ligue 1.

Javier Manquillo, Steven Pienaar, Adnan Januzaj, Paddy McNair, Papy Djilobodji and Donald Love have also arrived at the Stadium of Light this summer.

Sunderland are also linked with Steven Naismith and Florentin Pogba.
