Sunderland closing in on Chimbonda

Sunderland have had bids for four Tottenham players accepted on Thursday and even though Roy Keane might not be able to convince them all to join his team, he has excited at least one player.

“I can confirm that I travelled to meet Roy Keane today at Sunderland’s training ground. I was extremely impressed with what he had to say. His honesty and openness really were fantastic and I particularly like the plans he has for Sunderland Football Club. The opportunity excites me and I hope he was impressed with what I had to say.

“Now it is down to the club to sort out the personal terms and I will wait to see what happens,” said Chimbonda, according to the Observer.

The French right back has started his Premier League career in 2005 with Wigan Athletic before moving on to Tottenham in 2006 following his statement that he only used Wigan as a stepping stone to further his career.
