Sunderland have signed winger Patrick Roberts from Manchester City on an initial six-month contract.
The League One Black Cats have the option of extending it at the end of the season in a deal that could be worth up to £3million.
The winger, 24, leaves the Citizens after seven years and eight loans, with his last coming at French side Troyes.
Roberts, who is available to face Portsmouth on Saturday, said: “I can’t wait to get going. I came to the game against Sheffield Wednesday a few weeks ago to get a feel for it and it was great to watch – and something that I wanted to be a part of.
"The fans want you to do well and work hard every matchday and that pressure and expectation is something I thrive off.
"I just want to do well for the people that support me and get Sunderland back to where they belong.”
