Di Canio gets his man Published: 08 July, 2013 by Kate Smith Altidore becomes Sunderland's sixth summer signing. Sunderland AFC have confirmed the signing of US striker Jozy Altidore from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar. The 23-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Black Cats, for an undisclosed fee.

More to come tonight maybe? Mark Douglas ‏@MsiDouglas 1m Black Cats not finished for the night. #safc fans...
I foresee good things, as a former defender the last thing you want to play against is someone you know could probably kick yo ass!
Bloody hell is that lad only 23!? Good signing in my eyes. I think he'll progress well here and will end up a tidy player, some of his goals from Holland look ace. This pic also confirms that I don't like this year's home kit. It's all wonky.
probably cause he's been seeking games. If he was a crespo being loaned about at a much older age then I'd share your worries.
Think and bloody hope it's Gino...If it is I'm getting my dexy's collection out... "Geno! Geno! Geno!"...Good times
