Chopra completes Sunderland switch

Sunderland have completed the signing of Michael Chopra on a four-year deal.

The 23-year-old put pen to paper following a medical on Wearside this morning after the Black Cats reportedly agreed a fee of £5million with Cardiff.

The former Newcastle striker becomes Roy Keane's third summer signing after the capture of Greg Halford and Russell Anderson.

Keane told safc.com: 'He's a natural goalscorer who will bring competition with out other quality strikers to the side. I'm very confident he will score goals for this club.'
