Sunderland has made its second winter signing by formalizing a 6-month loan deal for Senegalese defender Kader Mangane. The club manager, Martin O’Neill, expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition, stating, “Kader is a player who will bring power to the squad. He’s a very good boy, and we’re happy to welcome him to Sunderland.”
Kader Mangane arrives at Sunderland from Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, adding depth and strength to the team’s defensive options. The 29-year-old defender has a diverse footballing background, having played for clubs such as Neuchatel Xamax and Young Boys in Switzerland, as well as Lens and Rennes in France.

Fans will be eager to see how these new additions contribute to the team’s performance in the ongoing season.
