Jeremain Lens has revealed that he is in talks with Sunderland regarding a summer transfer.

The Dynamo Kyiv winger admits he is keen to reunite with Dick Advocaat and has opened talks over a prospective move for a fee reported to be around £12million.

Recent reports suggested that Dutchman Lens, 27, was set to undergo a medical on Wearside but the former AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven ace was quick to play down that speculation.

He told www.foxsports.nl: "I'm not having a medical examination, but I am in talks with Sunderland.

"I have never made a secret of the fact that I like the Premier League. Despite Dynamo playing in the Champions League, now it seems like a great opportunity to make the switch."

Regarding his relationship with Advocaat, Lens said: "We have previously worked well together at AZ and PSV. We know each other – that's ideal.

"It's not all there yet, but it should be clear that I am really keen on a transfer."
