Sunderland are in swap talks with Fulham.
The 29-year old is heading for the Stadium of Light in a straight swap for midfielder Dickson Etuhu in a deal valued at around £2million.
Healy is currently with Nigel Worthington's Northern Ireland squad, preparing for tomorrow night's Hampden Park friendly with Scotland, but is expected to break off in the next 24 hours to have a medical on Wearside.
