Sunderland are confident of replacing Sam Allardyce with former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes.
It is widely expected that Allardyce will be taking over as manager of the England national team and as a result, Sunderland have now heightened their search for a replacement for the 61-year-old.
A host of candidates have already been mentioned as potential targets for Sunderland and now according to reports from Sky Sports, claims have been made that the Black Cats believe they can land Moyes once Allardyce's expected move to the FA goes through.
