Steve Bruce Expects To Permanently Sign Ghana Duo John Mensah, Sulley Muntari

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce expects to tie up deals for loan stars Sulley Muntari and John Mensah in the summer.

Bruce has an option to buy both players from their respective clubs, Muntari from Inter Milan and Mensah from Paris Saint-Germain, for £5m each and he is certain to exercise that option.

Both players have excelled for the Black Cats this season but it was their performances for Ghana in midweek in the draw with England which may have alerted others to their possible availability.

Bruce is expected to move quickly at the end of the season to tie up the pair before he then moves to land his main summer target, a striker.
