Sunderland boss Roy Keane says his buying spree is far from over after welcoming striker El Hadji Diouf from Bolton Wanderers yesterday.
"We will know on them (Younes Kaboul and Steed Malbranque) in the next 24 hours. It's a big decision for them, I appreciate that.
"I think the financial stuff is completed with Younes, but I think there are one or two things to be sorted out with Malbranque, which will probably be through his agent. Hopefully by tonight we'll know whether they're Sunderland players.
"It gets to a point where you need to know. I think I waited five weeks for David Nugent - I won't be waiting five weeks for anyone this season."
