CONFIRMED: Gus Poyet makes fourth Sunderland acquisition by completing Ignacio Scocco deal
SUNDERLAND have made their fourth acquisition of the month by sealing a deal for Argentina striker Ignacio Scocco.
The 28-year-old has joined the Black Cats for an undisclosed fee and put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year contract.
Scocco took in Sunderland's 1-0 win against Stoke and follows Spanish full-back Marcos Alonso and compatriots Oscar Ustari and Santiago Vergini to the Stadium of Light.
Gus Poyet is also confident of bringing in Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt after a £2.5 million fee was agreed.
With a medical still to take place, Sunderland will have to act fast to complete the deal before tomorrow's 11pm deadline.
