Chelsea sell Djilobodji to Sunderland for £8m

Chelsea have sold Papy Djilobodji to Sunderland for £8m.

The 27-year-old Senegal defender joined Chelsea in a surprise £4m move from Nantes last summer.

But he made only one appearance for the Blues and ended last season on loan at German club Werder Bremen.

Djilobodji has signed a four-year contract at Sunderland and is David Moyes’ first signing since the Scot took over as manager at the Stadium of Light.
