Gordon Signs For Sunderland
Craig Gordon has become the most expensive Premiership goal keeper by completing a £9m move to newly promoted Sunderland. Sunderland have been very active in the transfer window and Gordon has been one of Roy Keane’s main targets for over a month and The Black Cat’s manager is delighted with the signing of Gordon:
“I’m delighted that we’ve managed to sign Craig.
He’s a top goalkeeper and he’ll be a massive asset for us over the next few years.
We’ve already got two very good goalkeepers and Craig is a big signing for Sunderland.”
Gordon will undoubtedly be first choice at Sunderland and will be hoping to make an impact. He is certainly a good goal keeper who could be kept very busy this season. It is quite a large step up from being in a top half Scottish Premiership team to a newly promoted Premiership team but there is no doubt Gordon is up to the challenge. I can’t wait to see him in action I just hope he has a couple of off days when Arsenal play Sunderland this season.
