Mensah seals Sunderland move
Sunderland have wrapped up the signing of Ghana defender John Mensah on a season-long loan from French powerhouses Lyon.
The 26-year-old centre-half had only been with Lyon for one season, having previously made his name in Italian football.
Black Cats boss Steve Bruce told his club's official website:"I'm a huge admirer of John, having seen him play on a number of occasions.
"He's a solid, uncompromising defender who adds that extra steel and physical presence that I believe is essential to have in the top-flight.
"John is also very experienced at international level, having represented Ghana alongside the likes of Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Stephen Appiah.
"Having the element of competition is obviously a clear benefit to us and will help to drive the club forward.
"John is a top-class defender with varied experience and from speaking to him I know he is relishing the challenge of making an impact at Sunderland."
