Sunderland agrees M'Vila deal

Yann M'Vila has become Sunderland's latest close-season signing as Dick Advocaat looks to improve the team's fortunes in the Premier League.

Sunderland has completed the season-long loan signing of France international Yann M'Vila from Rubin Kazan, the club's fifth new arrival ahead of the Premier League campaign.

The 25-year-old midfielder spent last term on loan with Inter, making 14 appearances for Roberto Mancini's side as it struggled in Serie A.

Sunderland has the option of making M'Vila's transfer permanent at the end of the campaign.

"I'm very happy to be a Sunderland player," M'Vila told the club's official website.
