Sunderland signed highly-rated striker Fraizer Campbell for 6 million pounds from English Premier League champions and rivals Manchester United on Saturday.
The 21-year-old had a loan spell with Hull during 2007-08, when he scored 15 goals, and spent much of last season at Tottenham. He made just one league start for Spurs, playing a part in their run to the League Cup final, although he did not play in the final against United.
It is manager Steve Bruce’s first signing since arriving at the Stadium of Light from Wigan and is expected to be the harbinger of a fresh talent inflow bankrolled by Sunderland’s millionaire owner Ellis Short.
