Jeremain Lens joins Sunderland from Dynamo Kiev

Last Updated: 15/07/15 10:21pm



Sunderland have signed Netherlands international forward Jeremain Lens from Dynamo Kiev for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old, who can play up front or on the wing, has signed a four-year deal to reunite with coach Dick Advocaat, who he played under at PSV Eindhoven and AZ Alkmaar.

Lens had been playing in Ukraine since 2013, winning the domestic cup in his first season and then the league and cup double last season - he was also in Louis van Gaal's Netherlands squad for the 2014 World Cup and has scored eight goals in his 29 international appearances to date.

Advocaat said of his latest addition: "We have signed an international player and I am delighted to welcome him to Sunderland.

"He is a very well-known player in Europe and has played 29 games for the Dutch national side, which shows his calibre.

"I have worked with him twice already, at PSV and AZ, so I know him well; he is fast and he has scored goals everywhere he has played so that will help the team."

Sunderland make improved Jeremain Lens bid, according to sources

Sunderland have made an improved bid for Dynamo Kiev forward Jeremain Lens, sources have told ESPN FC.

As revealed by ESPN FC last month, Sunderland had made a move for Netherlands international Lens as they look to bolster their attacking options.

Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat is determined to bring in attacking reinforcements ahead of the new season and he had lined up a move for his fellow Dutchman.

Advocaat is a big fan of Lens, having worked with the attacker when the pair were together at AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven.

Lens, 27, is an AZ Alkmaar youth graduate who moved to PSV Eindhoven in 2010 and scored 34 goals in 96 Eredivisie appearances. He joined Kiev in 2013.

Lens is open to leaving Ukraine this summer, but Kiev have rejected Sunderland's first offer which sources say was in the region of £8 million.

Sunderland have now returned with a new offer and they are confident that this bid will be accepted by Kiev.

Should Sunderland land Lens, he will become their third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Sebastian Coates and Adam Matthews from Liverpool and Celtic respectively.

LENS IN TALKS

Dynamo Kiev midfielder Jeremain Lens has confirmed he is in talks with Sunderland over a prospective move.

As reports emerged on Monday that he was due on Wearside for a medical, the 27-year-old Dutchman insisted that was not the case, but revealed discussions are under way.

He told www.foxsports.nl: "I'm not having a medical examination, but I am in talks with Sunderland.

"I have never made a secret of the fact that I like the Premier League. Despite Dynamo playing in the Champions League, now it seems like a great opportunity to make the switch."

Jeremain Lens set for Sunderland medical today after fee agreed with Dynamo Kiev, but we understand Nicolas Lombaerts has failed his.

So essentially the Lombaerts deal is now off and Sunderland must turn their attentions elsewhere.

The fee for Jeremain Lens understood to be in the region of £9m. Medical later today in the North East.

LOMBAERTS FAILS SUNDERLAND MEDICAL

There’s more news from the Stadium of Light and it's our understanding that Nicolas Lombaerts has failed a medical with Sunderland.

The Belgian international defender was close to competing a £5m switch from Zenit, but now Sunderland must look elsewhere after the 30-year-old failed to complete the move.

FAIL
