Sulley Muntari is on the verge of joining the English Premiership League side Sunderland early this week, according to his agent.
Muntari has been a bench warmer at Inter Milan where he has been a surplus to the teams requirements and is keen for a return to the Premier League, having spent a season at Portsmouth in the 2007/8 campaign.
There are also other speculation that Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton are also in the race to snatch the 26-year-old.
Muntaris’ agent, Fabien Piveteau, says that is incorrect.
“That is not true, indeed if everything is sorted out with Sunderland he will be going there. We hope to have everything sorted shortly, maybe by Tuesday,” he told Sky Sports.
Despite previously stating that he would only play for a London-based club, Muntari now seems set on a loan move to the north east.
Piveteau added: “He knows Sunderland is a good club, possibly not the biggest but he wants to be playing football.
Asamoah Gyan is reportedly in communication with Muntari trying to woo the controversial midfield to join him at Sunderland.
