Sunderland are targeting a £2.5m swoop to sign Queens Park Rangers forward Junior Hoilett, according to a report.

Black Cats boss Dick Advocaat is looking to bolster his side's frontline after they struggled to find the net last season, with only Burnley scoring fewer goals in the Premier League.

The Dutchman has outlined Hoilett as one of his major targets, and the 25-year-old could be available for £2.5m due to QPR's desire to slash their wage bill following their relegation to the Championship, reports The Mirror.

Liam Bridcutt could leave Sunderland in the near future, with Derby County are reportedly lining up a £2m move for the midfielder.
