TROUBLE FOR THE CHAMPIONS

Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa says he's been "betrayed" by boss Claudio Ranieri - and says he won't play again for the Premier League title-holders.

It's understood Sunderland have had a bid turned down for the player.

Ulloa says he feels "let down" by the club.

DONE DEAL

Sunderland pair Darron Gibson and Bryan Oviedo have both completed their moves to Sunderland.

Gibson has signed an 18-month contract at the Stadium of Light, with Oviedo agreeing a three-and-a-half year contract.

Both players played under manager David Moyes while at Everton.

TRANSFER NEWS

Republic of Ireland International Darron Gibson looks set to link up with his former manager David Moyes at Sunderland.

Gibson has played just one first team match this season under new Everton manager Ronald Koeman, and is having a medical at the Stadium of Light this afternoon ahead of a permanent transfer.

His Everton teammate Bryan Oviedo is also expected to join him at Sunderland.

INJURY NEWS

Andrew Conway is the only member of the Irish squad unavailable for Saturday's Six Nations opener against Scotland.

The Munster man has aggravated an existing groin injury, and will miss the weeend's trip to Murrayfield.

In better news though, Johnny Sexton, Sean O'Brien and Keith Earls have all been passed fit.

The trio were injury managed last week, having picked up knocks in the final rounds of the Champions Cup, but Irish team manager Paul Dean says all three will train fully this week.

DONE DEAL!

Crystal Palace have signed Patrick van Aanholt from Premier League relegation rivals Sunderland.

The left-back's moved for a reported fee of 14-million pounds, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract at Selhurst Park.

It all but confirms that Robbie Brady's move to Palace is now off, leaving Burnley in pole position to sign him.
