Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia has confirmed defender Pascal Chimbonda has travelled to London to undergo a medical at Tottenham today.
The two clubs agreed a deal yesterday which could see the 29-year-old Frenchman return to White Hart Lane after just six months on Wearside.
Sbragia said: "Since he came to the club he's struggled to settle. We had an opportunity to maybe make things a little bit happier for him.
"He's in London, he's having a medical down there, but if it doesn't work out, we'll be pleased to see him back."
Meanwhile, Sbragia also insisted the Black Cats fully intend to retain the services of striker Kenwyne Jones, despite Spurs' continued pursuit.
He said: "Kenwyne will be a Sunderland player, he'll be here after the deadline."
