First of Spurs four signs for Sunderland
SUNDERLAND have clinched the signing of Tottenham midfielder Teemu Tainio.
The 28-year-old Finland international joins the Black Cats on a three-year deal.
Roy Keane said: "Teemu has showed versatility, playing in different midfield positions for both Tottenham and his previous club, Auxerre.
"But his experience in particular and the fact he has played more than 40 international games shows he has a lot to offer Sunderland."
Keane has also had offers for Spurs' Steed Malbranque, Younes Kaboul and Pascal Chimbonda accepted.
Tainio moved to White Hart Lane in 2005 and made 83 appearances in three seasons.
