It’s also been claimed by Dutch outlet De Gelderlander that Seelt received offers from Sunderland and Burnley, before choosing the former, and will cost around 2million euros (around £1.7million).
Seelt’s arrival will further strengthen Sunderland’s centre-back options, with Danny Batth, Dan Ballard and Luke O’Nien already at the club.
Nectarios Triantis has also signed for the Black Cats from Australian side Central Coast Mariners this summer, while Bailey Wright will return from a loan spell at Rotherham.
