Swansea City striker Danny Graham is reportedly poised to finalise a transfer to Sunderland before tomorrow's 11pm deadline.

The 27-year-old, who is expected to leave the Liberty Stadium in search of regular first-team football, is believed to have expressed a desire to move elsewhere but has not lodged an official transfer request.

While Norwich City have been linked with the frontman, it is believed that Sunderland are favourites to land their target with an improved £5.5m offer, according to the Northern Echo.

Graham, who is thought to have grown up as a Newcastle United fan, experienced a barrage of abuse from Sunderland supporters during the Swans' goalless draw with the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light last night.
