Sunderland have completed the signing of goalkeeper Mika from Portuguese side Boavista.
The 25-year-old, whose full name is Michael Simoes Domingues, moves to the Stadium of Light on a two-year contract after joining the Black Cats on a permanent deal.
The deal has been ratified by FIFA, after Sunderland completed all of the necessary protocols in advance of the transfer window closing.
A technical issue meant that Boavista were unable to complete their requirements by the 11pm deadline on August 31, however FIFA are satisfied that both teams fulfilled their commitments and the transfer has now been approved.
Mika, who has represented Portugal at U20 and U21 level, arrives on Wearside after spending the last two seasons with Boavista. He previously played for Benfica and Atletico CP.
The 6ft 1in goalkeeper is the tenth new arrival at Sunderland under manager David Moyes.
