Diamond has not featured in the Championship for Sunderland yet this season but started as a number nine as Alex Neil’s side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Sheffield Wednesday.

It is thought that Sunderland would have to bring reinforcements in to sanction Dimaond’s loan move this summer.

Sunderland have enjoyed a strong start back in the Championship and face Sheffield United away on Wednesday evening.

They then travel to Stoke City on Saturday, Alex Neil’s side looking to build on the dramatic 2-2 draw with QPR at the Stadium of Light last weekend.
