Sunderland boss Gus Poyet refuses to give up on signing Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.

The Black Cats tabled a £14million bid for their former loanee in mid-July and the offer was duly accepted by the Reds.

Borini, however, is still to decide on where his future lies and Sunderland have yet to sign a striker this summer.

"We're still going and we're still trying," he said. "Nothing has changed, for good or for bad."
