Belgian Keeper On His Way?

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce, who recently snubbed a pundit appearance on television for the World Cup, looks to have beaten PSV for the signature of this promising goalkeeper.

Sunderland have offered just over two million pounds for his services in providing Craig Gordon with healthy competition.

PSV have asked to be informed in case any transfer glitches occur but the Belgian U21 star has already verbally confirmed he will be joining the Black Cats in the next week.

Mignolet said: “Last week I was in Sunderland for talks. I hope I can pass my medical tests and then sign my contract.”
