Sunderland have completed the signing of former Tottenham Hotspur striker Louis Saha on a one-year deal.
Saha had been a free agent since being released by Spurs at the end of last season, having been at White Hart Lane for just six months.
The 34-year-old scored three goals in 12 appearances for the North London club before being snapped up by Martin O'Neill, who expressed his delight at the signing.
"Louis is a striker whose abilities have been proven at the very highest level and he brings with him a raft of experience of top-flight football," said O'Neill.
"I'm sure he will be a great addition to our squad in an area we recognise needs strengthening and I'm delighted we have been able to complete the deal ahead of our first game of the season."
Sunderland's first game of the new season comes away to Arsenal on Saturday.
