Despite reported interest from Tottenham, Everton and Liverpool, Sulley Muntari's agent claims Sunderland are in pole position to clinch his signature. They have made a loan bid for Muntari, who submitted a transfer request at Inter earlier this month.
The former Portsmouth man was quoted earlier this month, suggesting he would prefer a move to London.
However, his agent Fabien Piveteau has told skysports.com that Sunderland are favourites.
"There is just Sunderland and West Ham, nobody else is in for him," he told skysports.com.
He also rubbished claims that Muntari preferred a move to the capital, adding: "That is not true, indeed if everything is sorted out with Sunderland he will be going there.
"We hope to have everything sorted shortly, maybe by Tuesday.
"He knows Sunderland is a good club, possibly not the biggest but he wants to be playing football.
"The other Ghana players at Sunderland have told him about the club which has obviously played a part."
