Sunderland have secured the signing of Hull City defender Michael Turner for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old centre-back has agreed a four-year deal with the Black Cats and becomes the club’s seventh signing of the summer.
Turner’s future has been the subject of conjecture of late, with Liverpool linked with an interest.
But the stopper has now opted to join Steve Bruce’s Sunderland, who have won two of their opening four games of the new Premier League season. (Sky Sports)
Michael Turner has been linked with moves to Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton and Aston Villa but has now completed his move to Steve Bruce’s Sunderland. Phil Brown had made strong hints in recent weeks that he felt he was fighting a losing battle to keep the centre back.
The 25 year old is on the verge of an England call up and was valued by Hull City at £12m, a fee that scared off Rafa Benitez but perhaps was met by the Black Cats?

once again P,D, And P,B, have pulled the wool over the tigers supporters with the sale of M Turner which goes to prove they have no intention of seeing city stay in the prem also why has even an other refused to sign for city i would say it shows you what bad manegment we have at the J C stadium we will be 2nd like leeds and and many other teams in two years time so as duffers and the suntan kid say we have the supporters money this season so tough luck we dont care

this is a part of life – - – the smaller clubs become feeder clubs to the bigger, richer clubs in the premier ? they bring on a player who they’d signed for peanuts, then sell him on at a huge profit . . . . its called business
hull can buy a decent replacement and still bank a few million ? nowt wrong with that !

It doesn’t look good. Turner out and McShane in — not exactly a direct replacement is it?

There gets a point when money doesn’t really mean much… City can’t attract someone as good as turner no matter how hard they try, so the money is just going to be wasted on players who can’t fill Turners boots
