The £25.7 million transfer is on hold after the 20-year-old defender failed part of his medical and returned to France for further tests.
- Sunderland's £25.7m transfer for Dayann Methalie now hangs in the balance after the 20-year-old failed part of his medical following his arrival in the North East on Sunday.

- Reports from France claim the defender has a light back injury, prompting Methalie to return home for further testing while the deal remains uncertain.

- With a long European campaign ahead, Sunderland needs defensive reinforcements following Dennis Cirkin's departure, and all parties weigh next steps pending further medical clarity.
