|
Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Sunderland winger Julio Arca.
The 25-year-old Argentine, who has been with the Black Cats for six years, will be unveiled by Boro at 1300 BST, says BBC Radio Cleveland.
He joined Sunderland for £3.5m from Argentinos Juniors and became a huge favourite on Wearside.
But Arca, who was also interesting Spanish side Espanyol, was given permission to talk to Boro by new Sunderland boss Niall Quinn.
He becomes the first signing for new Boro boss Gareth Southgate.
Arca was in the final year of his contract and it is thought he had a clause in his contract allowing him to talk to other clubs.
