Sunderland finalizes Chaka's Chelsea move

Regis Le Bres, the head coach of Sunderland, confirmed that his club will not sell captain Granit Xhaka this summer, despite an £8 million bid from Chelsea to sign the player.

Despite Chelsea's interest in signing Xhaka and new manager Javi Alonso's assurance of the importance of reuniting with him, Sunderland’s management insisted on not reconsidering the deal before the summer transfer window closes, with expectations of more quiet acquisitions behind the scenes.
