Sunderland have agreed a deal worth up to £17.5m for Anderlecht and Ecuador winger Nilson Angulo. The clubs have reached an agreement on a £15m fee plus £2.5m in add-ons for the 22-year-old. He only recently signed a contract extension with Anderlecht in September 2025, after joining in 2022. He's now leaving Belgium after three and a half years with 15 goal contributions this season across 30 appearances. He made his senior international debut in October 2021 during a friendly against Mexico.
