Sunderland boss Allardyce pushed about Lamine Kone

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has refused to discuss a deal for Lorient defender Lamine Kone.

Allardyce is tight-lipped over the impending signing of Kone.

Reports earlier this week suggested the Lorient defender had undergone a medical ahead of a £5m switch.

But when asked if he could say anything over a potential switch, Allardyce insisted “No."
