Sunderland sign Ndong for club record fee

LONDON (Reuters) - Sunderland have signed the Gabon international midfielder Didier Ndong from French side Lorient, for a fee of 16 million euros (13.58 million pounds), the Premier League club announced on Wednesday. The fee is a club record and he becomes the seventh new signing by manager David Moyes, who succeeded Sam Allardyce last month. "Maybe the Sunderland fans don’t know me yet, but I promise that they will quickly discover that I will give everything for them and the club," Ndong told the club's website. "Today is the most beautiful day of my life." The 22-year-old has 18 caps for Gabon. (Reporting by Steve Tongue,; Editing by Neville Dalton)
