Chelsea defender Jake Clarke-Salter is poised to complete a loan move to Sunderland.
Clarke-Salter is strong and mobile and very highly rated at Stamford Bridge.
He starred for England in their Under-20 World Cup win and was close to joining Birmingham on loan in the summer.
The central defender featured in England's group matches against Argentina - where he made his debut in a 3-0 win - and a 1-1 draw with Guinea, before appearing in the semi-final and final.
