Sebastian Larsson is leaving Birmingham City for Sunderland.
The Daily Mail says Larsson has finally agreed to be reunited with Steve Bruce at Sunderland.
His father revealed the midfielder shunned an 11th-hour approach from Arsenal and Aston Villa to sign with the Black Cats.
"Steve Bruce has done much to bring about a deal and been very active," said the player's father, Svante told Sport-Folket.
