Sunderland manager Steve Bruce says he wishes keeper Márton Fülöp all the best for the future with his £750,000 move to the Blues set to be confirmed today. The Black Cats boss says he admires the Hungarian international for choosing to move on in order to have a greater chance of playing first team football.

Bruce says the deal is all but done: "It appears to be pretty much past the post now and if and when it does happen we wish Márton all the best. To be fair, I admire him for the fact that he was so keen to be playing first team football."

The 27-year-old, whose Sunderland contract is up next June, is likely to have taken a pay-cut to join the Blues.
