Sunderland is set to seal a deal with Chelsea left-back Patrick Van Aanholt.
Chelsea's Patrick Van Aanholt set to join Sunderland
The 23-year-old, who has a year to run on his contract, spent the last two-and-a-half seasons at Vitesse Arnhem.
Dutchman Van Aanholt, who has played eight times for Chelsea, has also had loan spells at Wigan, Leicester, Newcastle and Coventry.
Head coach Gus Poyet is keen to sign a left-back after Marcos Alonso's loan spell finished at the end of last term.
Fiorentina defender Alonso has been part of the Viola's pre-season campaign this summer, but made 20 appearances for the Wearsiders in 2013-14.
Poyet has already signed defender Billy Jones from West Brom, Wigan midfielder Jordi Gomez and goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon from Manchester City so far this transfer window.
Fabio Borini has also been linked with a return to Wearside, with a fee agreed with Liverpool, although Poyet has admitted his frustration at delays in adding new players this summer.
