Arsenal and Northern Ireland defender Dan Ballard has completed a summer move to Sunderland.
The 22-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Black Cats, with a club option of a further year. Ballard was being strongly linked with a move to Burnley, but will now link up with international teammates Trai Hume and Corry Evans at the Stadium of Light.
The centre half, who has 15 caps for Northern Ireland, told Sunderland's website: “It feels amazing to be here and I’m extremely happy.
