Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn said: "There has been significant investment in the team again this summer, and the 10 new faces that arrived have brought some real quality to our side.

"We've started the season well, and hopefully we can build on that.

"Our fans continue to back us, and we're all very grateful to them.

"We're aiming to give supporters a club and a team to be truly proud of, and with them behind us I'm confident we can be a force to be reckoned with."
