Armand Laurienté set for Sunderland medical | OneFootball

According to a report from Fabrice Hawkins, Armand Laurienté (26) is set to travel to the North East of England to complete a medical ahead of a proposed move to Sunderland. The newly promoted Premier League outfit have agreed a fee in the region of €20m with Sassuolo for the Frenchman’s services.

Laurienté has travelled to Sunderland on his private jet ahead of undergoing his medical. The French winger has agreed a 5-year contract at the Stadium of Light. The 26-year-old was pivotal in Sassuolo’s instant promotion back to Serie A last term. He scored 19 goals and registered 6 assists in Serie B last season.

Régis Le Bris is no stranger to Laurienté. The Sunderland manager coached the winger during his time at Lorient. He will also be reunited with his former Lorient teammate Enzo Le Fée, who joined the Black Cats permanently following their promotion to the Premier League.
