Sunderland will soon complete the loan signing of Dame N'Doye from Turkish club Trabzonspor.
The Senegalese striker was at the Academy of Light on Monday to finalise his temporary shift to Wearside which could be made permanent by the Black Cats at the end of the season.
Regarding the capture of the former Hull City man, Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce said: "Dame N'Doye is going through the process.
"He's in the building at the moment.
"We hope to pull off a deal until the end of the season with a view to a more permanent move.
"He's experienced the Premier League before with Hull City last season and scored five goals in 12 matches. I hope he can emulate that for us or maybe do even better."
