The winger is in his second spell in Amsterdam this season, having joined on a free transfer from Spanish side Villarreal CF last summer.

In total, Traoré played 89 official matches for Ajax's first team, scoring 23 goals.

Alex Kroes: "Through his experience and quality, Bertrand has made a valuable contribution to Ajax in reaching the Champions League. When the opportunity arose for him to play in the Premier League again, we felt he had earned that move. We thank him for his commitment and wish him every success at Sunderland."
