Fulham are in talks with Sunderland for midfielder Lee Cattermole.
The Mirror says Cattermole has been told by manager Paolo Di Canio that he can leave the Stadium of Light.
The former England Under-21 international is now in talks with Fulham boss Martin Jol, who has cash to spend following the west London club's takeover by US tycoon Shahid Khan.
Sunderland paid Wigan £6million for Cattermole in 2009, but are now set to let him go for around £2.5m.
