Sunderland have reportedly agreed a fee with Arsenal for goalkeeper Vito Mannone.
The North-East outfit have moved quickly for a new shot-stopper following the departure of Simon Mignolet to Liverpool earlier this week.
It is understood that an agreement with regards to a fee has been reached between the two parties, according to the Sunderland Echo.
Mannone, who made 15 appearances during his career at Arsenal, has one year left on his contract at the Emirates.
