Graham snubs Middlesbrough in favour of SAFC?

Sunderland target Danny Graham has re-buffed an approach from former club Middlesbrough and is set for a Sunderland medical, according to reports.

Graham, 27, was subject of a £5m bid from his first club Middlesbrough this morning, but it is understood that the Gateshead-born striker has turned down the chance to return to Teesside.

That news leaves Sunderland in pole position to tie up a deal for the former Watford and Carlisle United hitman.

According to numerous sources in the North East and Sky Sports News, Swansea City have accepted Sunderland’s £5m offer for Graham who is now set for a medical at the Academy of Light.

As soon as there is an update on this deal or any others, Vital Sunderland will bring it to you.
