Sunderland have reportedly agreed a fee of £6.6m with Torino for midfielder Didier N’Dong.
However, the Gabon international is currently struggling to agree personal terms with the Serie A side.
N’Dong, who spent the second part of last season on-loan at Watford, is Sunderland’s record signing at £13.6m.
There’s also been interest from Atalanta and Amiens in the 23-year-old midfielder.
