Dean Whitehead is expected to sign for Sunderland from Oxford on a free transfer in the next 24 hrs and complete a three year deal.
Oxford were keen to hang onto their star player, who received Oxford's young player of the year award, but with no success.
Although Dean is out of contract, Oxford will be entitled to some compensation due to the players age.
Whitehead scored 7 goals from midfield last season had has been tipped to become a very exciting player, lets just hope he does it in a red and white shirt.
