After spending the summer making a decuplet of signings that all rate somewhere fairly high on the ‘impressive’ spectrum (Wes Brown, John O’Shea, Connor Wickham, Seb Larsson, Craig Gardner, etc), Sunderland are about to add an eleventh and, perhaps, this one is the most impressive of them all.
Niko Kranjcar’s agent Adrian Aljai has gone on record this morning as saying that he is ‘about to close a deal with Sunderland’ over a move for the 27-year old Croatian midfielder, with a season-long loan from Tottenham thought to be in the offing.
Here’s me thinking Liverpool should’ve taken a punt when they had the chance.
