Larsson, Westwood seal Sunderland deals

Sunderland have finalised deals with Sebastian Larsson and Keiren Westwood.

Swedish Larsson joins from Birmingham City after being released due to the club’s relegation in May. He underwent a medical for the Black Cats yesterday after his former Blues boss Alex McLeish had made a last-minute attempt to sign him for Aston Villa.

Westwood is entering into a four-year contract after rejecting a new deal from his previous club Coventry City.

Both transfers will be made official on July 1.

Meanwhile, Ji Dong-Won is expected to join the Stadium of Light from South Korea’s Chunnam Dragons after he has undergone a medical.
