Sunderland are confident winning the Bosman race for Birmingham City winger Sebastian Larsson.
The Black Cats are one of a number of clubs hoping to sign the out-of-contract winger this summer.
While the Swede is delaying a decision for another week or two, hopes are high at the Stadium of Light that it will be the one they are hoping for, says The Journal.
Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, Stoke City and Atlético Madrid are all thought to have offered the 25-year-old a contract for next season.
