Sunderland are ready to make an offer for Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.
The Evening Chronicle says Sunderland are poised to launch a £10m bid to bring Borini back to the Stadium of Light.
The Liverpool striker spent last season on loan with the Black Cats and was a huge hit on Wearside, scoring 10 goals and playing a vital role in the club's late charge to safety.
Boss Gus Poyet rates the Italian very highly and has made no secret of the fact he would love to re-sign the 23-year-old if he leaves Anfield this summer.
