Sunderland have signed Manchester City defender Jason Denayer on a season-long loan.
Denayer, who featured for Belgium at Euro 2016, will be given the chance to secure first-team football with David Moyes' Sunderland.
The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and the Turkish club had expressed an interest in signing him again this summer.
