The 25-year-old Nigerian is Keane's fifth summer signing and takes his investment so far this summer to around £16million.

Etuhu arrived on Wearside for a medical and has signed a four-year contract.

Etuhu follows Greg Halford, Russell Anderson, Michael Chopra and Kieran Richardson to the Stadium of Light with Keane confident he is amassing a squad capable of making a real impact in the Barclays Premier League.

The Irishman said: "I'm very pleased that Dickson has signed. He will add competition to our squad and give us a real physical presence.

"He's a big, strong player who can also get a goal.

"We are definitely heading in the right direction as far as getting the players we want to the football club.

"The signing of Dickson creates competition and a club like Sunderland needs that.

"We all talk about the big four having competition for places, I feel every club should have it and that's what I'm trying to do here."
