Sunderland are putting Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria through a medical, according to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie.
Ejaria, 20, will join the Black Cats on a loan deal until the end of the season.
He has been lined up to replace Watford-bound Didier Ndong.
“Ndong has gone to Watford,” Chris Coleman said. “He’s made it clear that he wanted to go back to the Premier League, and the deal suited us in the end.
“We’ll be bringing one in to replace him – a boy from Liverpool, Ovie Ejaria. He’s coming to us until the end of the season, which I’m very excited about.”
