Double swoop for Sunderland

Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio has taken his summer signing spree to 13 with a deadline-day double swoop for fellow Italian pair Fabio Borini and Andrea Dossena.Striker Borini has sealed a one-year loan move from Liverpool, while former Anfield left-back Dossena has agreed a one-year free transfer from Napoli.The moves will help off-set Stephane Sessegnon's move to West Brom, which was completed as the end of the transfer window approached.The 22-year-old Borini was Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers' first signing at Anfield when he joined for around £10million from Roma last summer, but struggled to hold down a regular first-team place.Borini has been capped 18 times by Italy at under-21 level and made his full international debut in a friendly against the United States in February last year.He will provide extra attacking options for Di Canio and fill the gap created by the departure of Sessegnon.Borini joined Bologna as a youth player before moving to Chelsea in 2007. After a loan spell at Swansea he moved back to Serie A for brief periods at Parma and Roma.Meanwhile, Dossena joined Liverpool from Udinese in 2008 but after losing his first-team place moved back to Serie A with Napoli 18 months later.The 31-year-old, who has 10 senior international caps, helped Napoli win the Coppa Italia in 2012 with a 2-0 win over Juventus in Rome.The double signing takes Di Canio's Italian haul to four after previous deals for midfielder Emanuele and goalkeeper Vito Mannone.
