Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has confirmed their interest for Marseille midfielder Lorik Cana.

He told the Sunderland Echo: "He is captain of Marseille and captain of his country - he's right up our street.

"I hate talking about other club's players until things are all signed and delivered - you just have to look at what happened with the Peter Crouch deal.

"So we'll just sit down with the lad and see how things progress."
