Sunderland have completed the signing of defender Sebastian Coates on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool.
The 23-year-old Uruguay international becomes the Black Cats’ eighth summer signing after passing a medical on Wearside.
Coates joined Liverpool from Uruguayan-side Nacional in 2011 and has made 24 appearances for the Reds, scoring twice.
The centre-back has been capped 15 times by Uruguay and featured as a substitute in their 2-1 victory over England at the World Cup in Brazil this summer.
Sunderland are also waiting to complete the signing of Inter Milan attacking midfielder Ricky Alvarez, again on a one-year loan deal.
Alvarez, who completed his medical on Sunday, has flown to Argentina for international duties while the deal is being finalised.
Two players appear to be making way for the new arrivals, with French centre-back Valentin Roberge on the verge of completing a one-year loan deal to Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims.
This comes after Sunderland confirmed on Monday that fellow French defender Modibo Diakite had left the club by mutual consent.
