Sunderland are reviving their move for Argentine wing-back Gino Peruzzi.
The Daily Star Sunday says Sunderland's move for Velez Sarsfield right-back Peruzzi could also be back on.
The Argentina international, 21, saw his proposed £5m switch collapse when he failed a medical but is undergoing rehab with Velez at Sunderland's request in a bid to overcome a knee problem.
