Sunderland have completed a loan deal to land Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari, the Ghana ace has joined the Black Cats until the end of the season and joins fellow countrymen Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah at Sunderland.Muntari had been plying his trade in the Serie A with current European champions Inter Milan and could make his debut against Stoke next weekend.
Steve Bruce spoke of his delight at landing Muntari with his first signing of the January transfer window.
"Sulley is a fabulous acquisition for the club," Sunderland's manager told his club's official website.
"When the opportunity arises to bring in a player of his ability, even in the short term, you have to take it and I'm delighted we've been able to.
Speaking on Muntari’s ability to adapt to most positions, he added;
"His adaptability is a great asset. He did extremely well at Portsmouth so he knows the Premier League well and you have to be some player to move to Inter Milan for the fee that he did. He's a great addition.
"If you had said to me six months ago that we'd be looking at Sulley Muntari who had just won the Champions League I would have said 'not a chance'.
"This is an ideal opportunity to bring in a top-class midfield player who moved to Inter for about €17m. To bring him in now can only give the club a lift."
