Keane quick on the draw

SUNDERLAND manager Roy Keane was a busy man on the second day of the January transfer window, signing Trinidad and Tobago midfielder Carlos Edwards and Hungary goalkeeper Marton Fulop for a combined £2 million (€2.9m).

Edwards, who performed impressively for his country at last summer’s World Cup, joined the Black Cats from Luton in a £1.5m (€2.2m) deal while Fulop signed from Tottenham for £500,000 (€743,000), with goalkeeper Ben Alnwick moving in the opposite direction in a deal which could ultimately net the Wearsiders £1.3m (€1.9m).

Keane believes the signing of Edwards represents a real coup for Sunderland.
