Chimbonda staying at Sunderland, agent says

Pascal Chimbonda wants to stay at Sunderland and force his way back into the first-team reckoning, according to his agent.

The right-back – who signed a three-year deal in July when he joined for an undisclosed fee from Tottenham – has failed to figure in the Wearsiders’ last four games and subsequently been linked with a move to Lyon in the January transfer window.
