Jerome Sinclair has joined Sunderland on loan from Watford.
Kaboul joined Sunderland from Tottenham in the summer of 2015 and played for the Black Cats for the 2015-16 campaign.
The 32-year-old French central defender then moved to Watford, and it seems that he spoke highly of Sunderland to Sinclair.
The 21-year-old striker has joined Sunderland on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Watford in the summer transfer window.
The former Liverpool youngster has revealed what Kaboul – who earns £35,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – told him about the Black Cats, who will play in League One next season after getting relegated from the Championship.
Sinclair told The Northern Echo about Kaboul: “He told me it’s a really good place. It’s obviously a huge club, but he also told me it’s a people’s club and the people here really look after the players.
“He definitely only had good things to say about the club, and he helped persuade me, not that I needed much persuading.
“When you’re thinking about a move, to speak to someone who has been at the place is always good. When they only have positive things to say like that, it can only be a good thing.”
Good signing for Sunderland?
Sinclair is a very talented and promising young striker, and although the 21-year-old is relatively unproven, the former England Under-17 international could prove to be a smart signing for Sunderland.
The Black Cats need strikers next season, and Sinclair could be a huge hit in League One.
