Sunderland make Swedish teen Karlsson latest signing with Vydra loan next move

Sunderland have signed Swedish winger David Moberg Karlsson from IFK Gothenburg for £1.5m and have made a move to take Udinese striker Matej Vydra on loan.



Karlsson, 19, has signed a four year deal. Vydra, 21, who scored 22 goals on loan at Watford last season would cost £8m on a permanent deal.



His agent Ondrej Chovanec said: 'It is correct Sunderland are interested, but they are interested in a loan. They don't want to spend that money at the moment.'

Karlsson will become the club’s fourth signing of the summer as Paolo Di Canio looks to revamp a squad that just avoided relegation from the Barclays Premier League last season.

He has represented Sweden at Under 19 and Under 17 level and will join for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract.



Sweden Under-19 international Karlsson began his career at IFK Mariestad, but left for Goteborg, for whom he has made 10 appearances this season, in 2010 and picked up a Swedish Cup winners' medal last month.

He will join new arrivals Modibo Diakite, Duncan Watmore, Valentin Roberge and Cabral at Sunderland.
