According to our colleagues at Foot Mercato, Premier League side Sunderland have submitted a new formal transfer offer for Lorient defender Lamine Koné, as we anticipated on last night’s Get French Football News Mercato Show.

The details of the offer have yet to emerge but the salary that Sunderland are offering Koné now is improved vis-a-vis the offer that he received from them at the beginning of the month when he was supposed to join the Black Cats.

Lorient and the player are now considering the proposal.
