Blackburn Rovers defender Scott Dann is hopeful of securing a transfer to Sunderland.
Dann joined Blackburn in the summer of 2011 from a relegated Birmingham City for around £6m.
Rovers have also now been relegated from the top flight and reports suggest Dann wants to remain in the Premier League.
His representatives are looking to contact Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill but have so far been unsuccessful.
