Asked about Sunderland's bid for Eisa on the Roker Rapport website earlier this afternoon, Donald said: "They (Cheltenham) have not come back to us but that bid is strong.

"I think we have chased them 20 times.

"As I understand it from the football feedback I'm getting, and I don't know if it's accurate and Cheltenham would have to confirm, but I think our bid is the strongest bid and the closest to their valuation. I think it's a fantastic bid for the player.

"I would hope Cheltenham would accept that and see that as a serious bid. It's a proper bid.

"It's over a million (pounds). I think that will be our biggest transfer."

Cheltenham have already rejected seven-figure bids from Peterborough and Portsmouth for Eisa, who has two years left on his contract.
