Sunderland are set to trump Crystal Palace for Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

The former Arsenal winger has been trialling with Palace this month, but manager Ian Holloway has stalled on offering him terms.

Now, Greek media sources say rather than return to Panathinaikos, Quincy is set to sign with Sunderland.

Black Cats boss Paolo di Canio aims to deal in Quincy on Thursday.
