He told the club’s official website: “It’s a new challenge and I’m happy to be here. I saw the atmosphere of the stadium, and this is something I really like.
“The fans are very important in football, and especially in Sunderland. I came here to fight for them. I see some good players and see their quality, so I believe that we can do something good together – and when I say together, I mean the players, the fans and the city. We will need everyone this season.”
