If person tell you say Sunderland go be one of the highest spending clubs this summer, you go think say na joke. But as we dey talk now, the Black Cats don shock everybody for transfer market dem don already splash over €140 million, and dem never even stop!

Make we run through the players wey don already land for Stadium of Light:

This Senegalese baller na proper midfield engine. Diarra get power, skill and awareness wey fit hold midfield tight. Na the biggest signing so far and dem believe say na him go control tempo for the team.
Le Fée – €23M
French baller wey sabi create chances. Le Fée na playmaker wey dey always dey find pockets of space. Sunderland go rely on am for those final killer passes and set-piece deliveries.
Talbi – €23M
One strong Moroccan defender. Talbi no dey joke for back — e get aerial strength, positioning, and leadership qualities. Sunderland defence go hard this season.
Adingra – €21M
Ivory Coast winger wey get speed and skill. Adingra go give defenders serious headache with him runs and crosses. Plus, e sabi score goals too.
Sadiki-€17M

Reinildo – Free
This one na awoof move but e sweet die. Reinildo come as free agent but e still get top-level experience from Atlético Madrid. E go bring calm and strength for defence or left-back.
As if all this no enough, two more players still dey almost enter:
