Steven Fletcher is set to join Marseille on loan from Sunderland.
The Scottish striker is likely to head to the French club for the remainder of the season.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT have both reported that Marseille and the Black Cats could make the deal permanent in the summer if all parties are happy.
Former Wolves, Burnley and Hibernian forward Fletcher has made 11 Premier League starts for 14 total appearances for the Black Cats this term.
