Abdoullah Ba ‘to join’ Peterborough in permanent Sunderland exit | OneFootball

Sunderland midfielder Abdoullah Ba is set to leave for Peterborough United on a permanent deal, with an agreement understood to be in place and completion expected within 48 hours.

Sky Sports reported on Monday that Peterborough had agreed a permanent deal with Sunderland for the midfielder.

Ba has entered the final year of his Stadium of Light contract and has been on the fringes of Régis Le Bris’ plans as Sunderland reshape the squad before the new season.

A permanent move would suit all parties, giving Ba a clearer route to regular football while Sunderland trim numbers and create room for further business before the window closes.

The switch would mark another outgoing overseen by sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, with exits for Leo Hjelde and Arthur Masuaku also being worked on alongside incoming targets.

Peterborough hope Ba can add quality and experience for their League One campaign, and an official announcement is expected once formalities are complete.
