Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says it was a “huge disappointment” not to sign Davide Santon from Inter.
The full-back appeared to be all-set to move to the Black Cats, but the deal collapsed at the last minute after a disagreement between player and club.
“It was a huge disappointment for me that I was not able to clinch the Davide Santon deal, just a couple of days ago,” Allardyce told the Sunderland Echo.
“We want to improve the squad with two, three or four players as quickly as we possibly can.

“We want to improve the squad with two, three or four players as quickly as we possibly can.
"It's been a huge demand trying to find those players, but we'll continue that until we're successful.
"Hopefully fans will be a little bit patient.”
The Nerazzurri don’t want to keep Santon, so he could instead make the move to Crystal Palace.
