Sunderland have completed the signing of Emanuele Giaccherini.

He is the ninth player to be recruited in a busy summer for Sunderland manager Di Canio, the Italian appointed in March as successor to the sacked Martin O'Neill. After keeping the Black Cats in the Premier League - they finished 17th - Di Canio has embarked upon a major overhaul of his squad and it is expected that more new signings will follow. Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, Titus Bramble, Matt Kilgallon and Ahmed Elmohamady are among those to have left the Wearside club.
