Sunderland sign Sulley Muntari on loan from Inter Milan

Sunderland have signed Ghana  midfielder Sulley Muntari from Inter Milan on loan until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Saturday.  

Muntari previously played in the Premier League with Portsmouth before moving to Inter in July 2008. The 26-year-old joins Ghana team mates Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah at Sunderland, who are currently sixth in the table.   

"Sulley is a fabulous acquisition for the club. 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 have been able to,; Sunderland manager Steve Bruce told the club's website (www.safc.com).   

"His adaptability is a great asset. He did extremely well at Portsmouth so he knows the league well and you have to be some player to move to Inter Milan for the fee that he did (€16 million )."
