Vergini Move Draws Closer

Santiago Vergini looks like being a Sunderland player once again, this time on a permanent basis.

Word is that the Black Cats are close to signing the Argentine who spent the second half of last season on loan with the club.

Poyet is looking to bring in four players over the next few days and Vergini is one of the players that the boss has had his eye on right from the word go.

He told reporters: “We know Santi well, and he was always one of the first choices.

“It was him, Marcos and Fabio – all on loan last season – who have been close.

“When you know a player well, you know what he is going to add to the group.”
