Sunderland have completed the signings of Italy international duo Fabio Borini and Andrea Dossena.

The 22-year-old, who was Brendan Rodgers's first signing as Liverpool manager, made 20 appearances for the Reds, scoring two goals.

Andrea Dossena, meanwhile, joins Paolo Di Canio's side on a one-year deal from Napoli having helped the Italian side to a second-placed finish in Serie A last season.

The 31-year-old former Liverpool left-back made 109 appearances for Napoli, scoring three goals.
