Sunderland are reportedly closing in on a deal to bring West Ham United midfielder Pierre Ekwah to the club. Alan Nixon, claims a deal is done to bring the former Chelsea youngster to the Stadium of Light, but Chronicle Live understands that's not the case just yet.
Tony Mowbray's side are looking to bolster their options in the heart of midfield following a long-term injury to Elliot Embleton. The Black Cats are also hoping to bring in a striker to ease the burden on Ross Stewart, but Ekwah seems a likely addition in the heart of midfield.
Chronicle Live has spoken with Jonty Colman, West Ham United reporter for Football London, for an insight into what Ekwah might bring to Sunderland.
