Version 0 of 1. The striker Ignacio Scocco is returning to Argentina from Sunderland to sign a deal with his former club Newell’s Old Boys. The 29-year-old arrived on Wearside in January for £3.2m, but made only eight appearances and failed to score. Newell’s said on their website: “After his spell at Sunderland AFC, Ignacio Scocco will play again at Newell’s and wear the colours close to his heart in what will be his third stage at the club.” Newell’s said Scocco would arrive in Rosario on Friday to sign a five-year contract and would be presented to the media at their Marcelo Bielsa stadium on Saturday. The club said they had made “an extraordinary economic commitment in the transfer market” but did not reveal the cost. Scocco tweeted: “Thanks to God who gave me the chance to return home … one of the happiest moments of my career.” Gracias a dios que me dio la posibilidad de volver a casa...uno de los momentos más felices de mi carrera. pic.twitter.com/6BVmkMWH1t |
