Cape Town - Sunderland are on the verge of signing Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell for a fee of around £10m.
According to reports, the England international is on Wearside today for talks with the club and to undergo a medical.
If the deal goes through, Rodwell will become the second Englishman to leave the Etihad this summer following the departure of Gareth Barry to Everton.
The 23-year-old has managed only 25 appearances for City since joining the club in 2012 after struggles with a hamstring injury kept him out of action and below par for quite some time.
