There remains work to be done for the Black Cats to get what would be a hugely significant deal over the line.

Sunderland could get a two hour extension to conclude the deal should they submit a deal sheet.

These sheets provide details of the impending transfer and confirm that an agreement has been reached, before providing clubs with extra time in which to submit all the required documentation.

The details required on this sheet are fairly basic and amount to the clubs and player involved and the fee being paid, if there is one.
