Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has identified two strikers that he would like to sign before the transfer window closes on Wednesday evening, according to The Mirror.
The Black Cats boss has reportedly contacted German club Freiburg about the availability of Papiss Demba Cisse.
The Senegal international has attracted the interest of Fulham in recent days.
Another forward on Bruce's radar is Manchester United's young Italian Federico Macheda.
Sources at Old Trafford believe that the 20-year-old has a big future with the club, although a season-long loan deal has not been ruled out.
Sunderland have scored just one goal from their opening three Premier League matches.
