Former Liverpool player Joao Carlos Teixeira has been linked to January move to Wearside, it has been reported in Spain.

It’s believed that Sunderland are seeking to bring him in on loan after moving to FCporto in the Summer.

After a rather unsuccessful time in at Liverpool he struggled to get some first team actions, which lead him to be loaned out to Brighton and Hove Albion.

In his time in the Championship he was awarded player of the season for Brighton and Hove Albion.  Although he struggled to get into the first team at Liverpool, he did gain some admirers, one of which is David Moyes.
