El-Hadji Diouf has moved to Sunderland for
around £2.5m as the Black Cats continue their rebuilding plans
ahead of the new Premier League season.
The Senegal international, 27, had one season left on his Bolton
contract but had expressed his desire to leave.
Boss Roy Keane told the club website: "El-Hadji has always been
the kind of player opposition teams and supporters love to hate, a
thorn in the side.
"That's why we're delighted to now have him in our squad."

Keane added: "He has bags of Premier League and international
experience, which is exactly what we've been targeting this
summer.
"Our coach, Ricky Sbragia, has also worked very closely with him
[at Bolton] and speaks extremely highly of him, so we're looking
forward to working with El-Hadji, I think he's a signing that will
excite our supporters."
