Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has revealed that the club's new signings have "fitted in quickly".
The Black Cats have brought in five players ahead of the new campaign, the latest being Jack Rodwell from Manchester City.
Despite plenty of new faces at the Stadium of Light, Johnson is pleased with how everyone has been able to slot into the squad.
"There's been a lot of talk about different players. We'll have to see who else arrives, but the players who are already here have fitted in quickly," he told the Sunderland Echo.
"I think to be honest, the only reason players don't settle in too quickly is when they can't speak the language. You're a long way away from home and can't understand what is going on."
Sunderland play their penultimate pre-season match on Thursday night when they host Real Betis.
