CATS HAVE CLAWS OUT FOR PAPY

PAPY DJILOBODJI could face legal action from Sunderland as he continues to stay away from the club.

The defender (below) and midfielder Didier Ndong, who cost the Wearsiders £22million, have no future under manager Jack Ross, after failing to turn up to pre-season training.

Their efforts to find a new club in the transfer window drew a blank. New owner Stewart Donald won’t let them play for the club again, or train with the League One side’s first team, some of whom earn in a year as much as they do in a fortnight.

The Black Cats are withholding the pair’s pay, in the region of £100,000 a week, and could seek compensation as their market value drops.
