Sunderland defender Wes Brown is impressed by new teammate Sebastian Coates.
Coates has joined Sunderland on-loan from Liverpool.
Brown told the Sunderland Echo: "We need someone in there 100 per cent.
"He hasn't trained much yet, but I'm sure he'll fit in well.
"You can probably class Santi (Vergini) as an option as well.
"But we definitely needed someone in (at centre-half) and I'm sure once he starts training, he'll fit in tremendously."
