Jack Colback's future at Sunderland will be decided this week.
The Journal says Colback's future will be decided in the next seven days as the midfielder looks for a quick resolution to his contract wrangles - and both Newcastle United and Sunderland remain bullish about their chances of recruiting him.
Colback wants his future resolved before he jets out on holiday and will be aware of interest from several Premier League clubs - along with Scottish champions Celtic, who have made an enquiry in the last fortnight.
