Bournemouth are reportedly considering a move for Sunderland winger Will Buckley.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a switch away from the Black Cats after failing to feature for Dick Advocaat's men this season, although a transfer to Leeds United broke down over his wages.

However, the Cherries are weighing up a deadline-day swoop for Buckley after summer signing Max Gradel sustained a knee injury, leaving Eddie Howe's side short on options on the wing, reports the Daily Star.

Buckley has made 24 appearances for Sunderland since joining from Brighton & Hove Albion last year.
