Sunderland have signed Atletico Madrid defender Javier Manquillo on loan for the rest of the season.

The Black Cats have also negotiated an option to seal a permanent four-year deal for the 22-year-old former Liverpool full-back next summer.

Manquillo, who spent last season on loan at Marseille, follows Papy Djilobodji, Adnan Januzaj, Donald Love, Paddy McNair and Steven Pienaar to the Stadium of Light as manager David Moyes rebuilds his squad.

The right-back made 15 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool in 2014/15.
