Sunderland are continuing to work on a deadline day deal to bring Jermain Defoe back to Wearside - but as yet nothing has been agreed.
Multiple outlets are claiming that the deal has already been done, but there has been no official confirmation and sources within the club say that no agreement has been reached.
The Black Cats have been in talks with the 39-year-old free agent for at least a fortnight, with former head coach Lee Johnson confirming there had been contact between club and player.
