Highly promising Senegalese youngster Habib Diarra has joined newly promoted Premier League side Sunderland in a record-breaking transfer deal.
The English club demonstrated its determination to build a strong squad by paying a €30 million transfer fee for the player.
Diarra, who played for RC Strasbourg Alsace, made a significant contribution to his team’s seventh-place finish in Ligue 1 last season.
The Senegalese central midfielder expressed his happiness at joining Sunderland and stated that he will do everything he can for the club’s future.
Habib Diarra is a player with great potential. If he proves himself in the Premier League, he could find himself playing for a much bigger club within a few years.
Sunderland, who had a similarly talented player in Jobe Bellingham last season, aims to fill the void left by his move to Borussia Dortmund with this transfer.
