Championship side Charlton Athletic have signed French midfielder El Hadji Ba from Sunderland.
22-year old Ba managed to make just three appearances for the Black Cats since arriving in 2013 and has signed a three-year deal at The Valley.
"It's very nice to be a Charlton player," Ba told www.cafc.co.uk. "I'm very happy to be here. It was a little bit difficult at Sunderland.
"I was young and didn't have a lot of time on the pitch, but now I am older and ready to fight at Charlton."
Best wishes to midfielder @Elhadjbaaby, who has completed a permanent move to @CAFCofficial. pic.twitter.com/evTcgEMqiU
