The 26-year-old Ghana international, who left Portsmouth for Inter in a
16 million Euros move in July 2008, will join compatriots John Mensah
and Asamoah Gyan at the Stadium of Light.
Bruce
said: "Sulley is a fabulous acquisition for the club. When the
opportunity arises to bring in a player of his ability - even in the
short term you have to take it, and I'm delighted that we have been
able to."
He added: "His adaptability is a great asset. He did
extremely well at Portsmouth so he knows the Barclays Premier League
well and you have to be some player to move to Inter Milan for the fee
that he did. He's a great addition."
Muntari has slipped in the pecking order at Inter after playing a key role under former boss Jose Mourinho.
Sunderland have taken advantage of that to snap up a player they have been trailing for some time.
Bruce
admitted his interest in the Ghanaian and Paris St Germain's Stephane
Sessegnon before Darren Bent stunned the Black Cats before handing in
the transfer request which ultimately led to his departure for Aston
Villa.
The club now hope to push home their interest in
Sessegnon after days of difficult negotiations, but the manager will be
relieved to have finally got at least one of his transfer targets.
Meanwhile,
Sunderland have given Spanish side Real Zaragoza permission to talk to
Paraguay international defender Paulo da Silva over a move to La Liga.
