Inter-owned Ricky Alvarez will be a success at Sunderland, says new teammate Santiago Vergini.
After three difficult seasons in Italy, the Argentine attacker will spend the 2014-15 term in the Premiership.
“I imagine that he is a player that the fans will really take to and I think that he really is capable of doing great things,” Vergini, a former teammate of the Argentine international, told safc.com.

“I imagine that he is a player that the fans will really take to and I think that he really is capable of doing great things,” Vergini, a former teammate of the Argentine international, told safc.com.
“Ricky is a player that I know very well from playing in the youth teams at Velez Sarsfield.
“He is technically very good, he has great physical potential and he can get up and down the field so I believe he will bring a lot to the team.
“Both for the club and the squad it is great that a player like Ricky will come here as it brings a lot of prestige.”
Alvarez scored 14 goals in 90 games for the Beneamata before his deadline day switch away from the Stadio Meazza.
