Graham signs for Sunderland

Sunderland have completed the signing of Danny Graham from Swansea for £5m.

The striker has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadium of Light, just days after he was booed by some of the Black Cats fans when he appeared against them for the Swans.

“As soon as I heard about the interest from Sunderland I didn’t even have to consider any of the other options that were on the table,” the 27-year-old told safc.com.

“I was born and brought up in the north east so I know first-hand the intense passion that people have for their football in this part of the world – it’s special and there’s nowhere else like it.”
