Sunderland are in discussions with Rennes over a move for Asamoah Gyan. I really hope we get him, he is unreal!

Sunderland are planning a bid to sign Wigan Athletic's unsettled winger Charles N'Zogbia.

The newly-capped France international is reportedly keen to leave the DW Stadium before the close of the transfer window following 18 months with Wigan.

He was signed for the Latics by Steve Bruce and the Black Cats manager is keen on a reunion with the 24-year-old.

Bordeaux striker Fernando Cavenaghi admits he would consider a move to Sunderland if they make a bid.

The 26-year-old Argentina international has a year remaining on his contract with the French outfit, who he joined from Spartak Moscow in a £6million switch back in 2007.

L'Equipe has reported the Black Cats have asked for information regarding the striker, who admits he would consider a move to the Stadium of Light.
