DONE DEAL: Sunderland sign Burnley defender Jimmy Dunne

Sunderland have signed Burnley defender Jimmy Dunne on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Scottish Premiership side Hearts.

The Irishman, who helped Accrington win the League Two title in 2017-18, could make his debut against Luton on Saturday.

"I'm very excited to be here. I'm looking to step up and keep developing my game," he told the club website.
