Sunderland are closing in on the signature of Adnan Januzaj, according to reports from the Daily Express.

Januzaj has clearly flattered to deceive at Manchester United since breaking into the first team back in 2013 and it is widely expected that the winger will be leaving Old Trafford this summer after being banished to train with the reserves by manager Jose Mourinho.

There have been reports that Januzaj could reunite with former manager David Moyes at Sunderland and fresh reports claim that the Belgian international is on the verge of sealing a loan move to the Stadium of Light.

United wanted £10million for Januzaj, which Sunderland felt was a bit rich, and are now hoping to agree a temporary deal for the 21-year-old.
