Arthur Masuaku has signed a two-year contract with Sunderland, marking his return to the Premier League after departing Turkish side Besiktas, enhancing the team's defensive experience.

"I'm very happy to sign a new contract. I think everybody knows that for me, this is my team, my club, my city - so it's a special moment."

Noah Sadiki has signed a five-year deal with Sunderland after playing a key role in Union SG's first Belgian title success in 90 years last season.

"I know people doubted us, it was understandable, we lost a few games, people talk about momentum. But I think we did enough and showed enough in the season for people to give us some credit going into the play-offs."

Tonight marks the beginning of the Championship playoffs, with Coventry facing Sunderland in the first leg of the semi-finals at 8pm BST.
