New Signing Imminent

The England U-21 international is widely reported to have been in talks with Sunderland over the weekend, and although not completed, the deal just depends upon Baines' final decision. The two clubs have agreed a fee in the region of £6.5 million.

The Black Cats are also still firmly in the running to sign Hearts' Scottish international 'keeper, Craig Gordon. A fee of £10 million has been reported - which would make Gordon the most expensive British goalkeeper to date.
