Bordeaux sign Sunderland target Lucas Orban

Bordeaux have snapped up reported Sunderland target Lucas Orban from Argentinian side Tigre.

The 24-year-old full-back has signed a four-year deal at the Stade Chaban Delmas, where he will replace Benoit Tremoulinas after his move to Dynamo Kiev.

Orban was believed to have been a target for a number of Spanish clubs, although his agent Filippo Colasanto claimed that the Black Cats had made him an offer.

He came through the youth setup at River Plate before joining Tigre on loan in 2011. He completed a permanent move to the Coliseo de Victoria a year later.
