Sunderland boss Poyet "would love" to re-sign Liverpool striker Borini

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says he'd love to re-sign Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.

Borini was left out of the Liverpool squad for yesterday's 0-0 draw.

Poyet admits he would leap at the chance to take Borini back to the Stadium of Light.

"I would love to," he said before attempting to address the collapse of the transfer.

"It is difficult to explain. It was a long summer and the things everyone knows, we agreed a price and we flew to America (for Liverpool's pre-season tour) and he didn't come.

"The bottom line is he is not with us. I am trying to concentrate on what we have got."
