Velez Sarsfield wing-back Gino Peruzzi is excited about moving to Sunderland.

Talks have been confirmed by Velez over the Argentine's sale.

"It's beautiful, especially since in my opinion it's one of the best leagues because of the tempo played there," Peruzzi told Ole.

"I think English football is the most competitive.

"Yes, (Christian) Bassedas told me about the city, the people, that there is a lot of respect, he said something about the team. He told me that he liked to play there."

"I want to leave [Velez] as a winner."
