Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has agreed to sign Swedish international Sebastian Larsson from his old club Birmingham City.

The 26-year-old midfielder will officially join Sunderland on July 1, the Premier League team said on their website (www.safc.com) on Wednesday.

Bruce spent five seasons in charge of Birmingham before moving to Wigan Athletic. He became Sunderland manager in June 2009.

Sunderland finished 10th in the league last season while Birmingham were relegated to the Championship (second division).

    firstly Larsson isnt a defender, he­ is a midfield player. Secondly, all players as you say­ cuddle the attackers and the way to stop it is for the­ officials to actully watch what is going on and award­ penalty's against the offenders. Quite simple­ really t, the laws are ther , they are just not­ applied other than at the refs discretion , which is­ wrong.

    Hope this new defender knows to watch the ball­ defending corners and free kicks instead of being more­ interaste in cuddling the attackers.
