MELBOURNE City will today unveil veteran English Premier League keeper Thomas Sorensen as their final visa signing of the A-League season.

The former Aston Villa, Sunderland and Stoke City keeper will be handed the no. 1 shirt and looks set to claim the no. 1 spot after signing a two-year deal.

While coach John van’t Schip probably won’t announce it publicly, Tando Velaphi looks set to be the unlucky one.

Velaphi finished last season strongly after replacing Andrew Redmayne and brilliantly saved a penalty in last Wednesday’s FFA Cup win over Wellington Phoenix.

Sorensan played over 350 English top flight games after joining Sunderland in 1998.
