LuaLua signs for Sunderland

Sunderland have signed former Newcastle player Kazenga LuaLua on a short-term deal after the winger's contract was cancelled by Brighton.

The 27-year-old has penned a deal with the Black Cats until the end of the season and could make his debut against Birmingham on Tuesday.

Sunderland boss Chris Coleman told the club's website: Kaz was determined to come here and get playing first-team football again and I look forward to helping him play the kind of football he is capable of.

He's quick, skilful and has a lot of experience at this level. He gives us another option in attack and, most importantly, is up for the fight.''

Sunderland are currently in the Championship relegation zone, behind 21st-placed Hull on goal difference after 28 games
