The two clubs have been locked in talks all month, with Jack Ross determined to try and land the 27-year-old.
An agreement has finally been reached with the deadline fast approaching.
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.
