Gino Peruzzi to complete Sunderland move

Gino Peruzzi is on the verge of completing a move from Velez Sarsfield to Sunderland. Paolo Di Canio has been chasing the full back for over a month and a deal is now edging closer to completion.

The 21-year-old's deal to Sunderland almost fell through after discovering an issue with his knee, but after a more extensive medical at the Stadium of Light, a deal could be back on. It is understood Peruzzi will sign a four year contract later this week.


“As reported earlier, during the week directors Baldomar and Ordonez travelled to England with the player Gino Peruzzi to advance negotiations over the latter's transfer to Sunderland,” read a statement on Velez's official website.
