Stoke City have won the race for Sunderland defender Danny Collins.
Stoke have completed the £2.75million signing of Collins from Sunderland.
Wolves had made a late move for Collins last night.
"Danny has been Sunderland's player of the year for the past two seasons which speaks volumes for the impact he has had at that level," said Potters boss Tony Pulis. "He can play at left back or centre half which gives us further options along the back four."
"One of the great things about this move is that I will have some familiar faces around me with so many ex-Sunderland players already here," said Collins. "The club even plays in red and white stripes as well.
"All this has happened so quickly because only a few weeks ago I was captaining the Sunderland side in their pre-season friendlies, but Steve Bruce made it clear that he was going to bring in new faces and he couldn't guarantee me a place."
