Sunderland winger Simon Adingra has joined Monaco for an initial loan fee of £870,000, with an option to buy for £16m.

The 23-year-old's move remains subject to international clearance. Adingra only joined the Black Cats in the summer in a £21m move from Brighton.

However, the Ivorian has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland midfielder Adil Aouchiche has also left the Wearside club to join German side Schalke in a permanent transfer.
