Le Havre midfielder El Hadji Ba has revealed he's moving to Sunderland.
Ba will join the development squad.
"I know he is a manager who likes to win, like me," he told GFN news.
He could have signed for Tottenham but said he was delighted to sign for Sunderland.
"There was a moment where they wanted me, but now it is in the past. I am happy to go to Sunderland. I like the atmosphere of the club and the supporters.
"I feel great. I cannot wait to go to Sunderland to show them what I am capable of. I had other clubs who were interested in me, but Sunderland have wanted me for ages, even before I turned pro. That is what tipped the decision in their favour."
