By , Reporter |
Gus Poyet expresses his excitement about working with new Sunderland recruit Marcos Alonso.

Gus Poyet has revealed that new recruit Marcos Alonso was "desperate" to join Sunderland prior to completing his switch to the North-East.

The 23-year-old, who has previously played in the Premier League for Bolton Wanderers, has moved to the Stadium of Light from Fiorentina on a loan deal until the end of the season.

"Marcos is a player that I have known well for a very long time," Poyet told the club's website. "He was desperate to come and play for Sunderland and he is a player I am excited to work with."

Alonso has completed a medical and will officially link up with his new teammates on Wednesday.
