City to sign Fulop from Sunderland

Last updated : 29 April 2010 By Ed

City had tried to bring Joe Hart back from his season long loan deal at Birmingham City but that attempt failed and so they have signed the 26-year-old Hungarian international from the Black Cats as replacement for injured duo Shay Given and Stuart Taylor.

“The Club, with the backing of the Premier League, have been in contact throughout the day with both Birmingham City and Sunderland with regards to bringing either Joe Hart or Marton Fulop to the team on an emergency basis,” a City spokeswoman told the club's official website on Tuesday evening.

“Agreement has not been reached with Birmingham, but we anticipate that Marton Fulop will join us in training tomorrow and we thank him and Sunderland AFC for their help in this situation.”
