John Mensah joins Black Cats
Sunderland have completed the signing of Ghana defender John Mensah from Lyon.
Mensah becomes manager Steve Bruce's sixth signing of the summer, joining Paulo da Silva, Lee Cattermole, Lorik Cana, Fraizer Campbell and Darren Bent at the Stadium of Light.
The 26-year-old joins on a season-long loan and Sunderland have the option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season, according to the club's official website.
(re-opens) Mensah told the club's website, www.safc.com: "I'm very delighted to join Sunderland today, it's like a dream come true for me because it's not easy to play in England.
"I want to tell my fans that they should not expect magic from me but that I will be giving my best.
"I have a lot of experience from Italy and Europe, while I have played a lot of games for my country and competed in the World Cup and the African Nations Cup.
"Because of this it is not difficult for me to play in England. Now I hope I can do well here in Sunderland and I will listen and do whatever the coach tells me to do."
