Sunderland have wrapped up the permanent signing of Belgian midfielder Jules Ahoka from Royal Antwerp for a stated £8 million cost. The move represents the club's third summer acquisition. Physical tests and paperwork were wrapped up on Monday before the transfer was completed. Some media outlets have labelled the midfielder as a prospective Brazilian wonderkid.
Sunderland club director Florent Ghisolfi spoke about the transfer in interviews with Chronicle Live and Sunderland Echo. BBC Sport and The Northern Echo verified the switch earlier today. Transfermarkt has already updated Ahoka's profile to reflect the change.
