Poyet ‘delighted’ with Alonso loan

Sunderland have completed the signing of Fiorentina defender Marcos Alonso on a six-month loan deal.

The Spanish full-back has found first team football hard to come by at the Stadio Artemio Franchi this season.

And as such, has been sent out to the Premier League club until the end of the season.
