Stoke City attacker Tuncay Sanli is back on Sunderland's radar.
Black Cats boss Steve Bruce expressed interest in Tuncay last summer.
The Daily Mail says flush with the cash from Darren Bent's sale to Aston Villa, Sunderland are willing to offer£2 million for Tuncay.
Potters boss Tony Pulis would not block a move away from Tuncay if he was to get value for money.
