Manchester City youngster Lukas Nmecha is wanted by Sunderland on-loan.
The Daily Mail says Black Cats manager Chris Coleman wants to add firepower with his team bottom of the table and believes 19-year-old Nmecha could make a significant impact.
City's starlet made his first-team debut for Pep Guardiola against Leicester in the Carabao Cup last month and has also scored for club's Under 21s in the Football League Trophy this season.
Though born in Germany, Nmecha is eligible to play for England and helped the Under 19s become European champions last year.
