CHIT-CHAT | Is Habib Diarra Any Good? Alex Barker Gives The Lowdown On New SAFC Midfielder

Sunderland's summer raid on the French league has seen us target a number of players, with Habib Diarra of Strasbourg heading to Wearside to become our most expensive signing of all time! With this in mind, we roped Alex Barker from The Athletic back in to give us his expert insight on the 21-year-old Senegal international... Alex was surprised by our pursuit of Marcin Bulka - is he shocked to see Diarra heading to Wearside? Why is Diarra so highly rated in France? What does the data tell us about him? What sort of midfielder is he, and where would he fit in at Sunderland? This is a BIG fee - are Sunderland getting good value for money? How does Alex see him getting on in the Premier League?
