Steve Bruce<\/a> is pleased that Sunderland<\/a> have secured the signature of South Korean striker Ji Dong-Won<\/a> and believes he will be a success once he has adapted to the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ji was confirmed as a Sunderland player on Thursday, having signed a three-year contract at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n

Bruce told the club\u2019s official website: \u201cThe boy has been in fantastic form for both club and country and he was one of South Korea’s stand-out performers at the Asian Cup so we are delighted to bring him to Sunderland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe Ji can be an excellent acquisition and he has certainly impressed us over the long period we have been watching him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Ji has already scored six goals in 11 international matches, including four in this year\u2019s Asian Cup, where South Korea finished third.<\/p>\n

And his new manager Bruce is sure that the striker can add his name to the lengthening list of South Koreans to have adapted successfully to the English game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Barclays Premier League is very different to the K-League so there is hard work ahead but you just have to look at players like Park Ji-Sung and Lee Chung-Yong to see how well Korean players are adapting to its pace and physicality,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

Ji joins fellow youngster Connor Wickham in the new-look Sunderland forward line as the club continues to rebuild following the sale of star forward Darren Bent in January.<\/p>\n
