Sunderland are interested in Rangers defender James Tavernier.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Ibrox club from Wigan Athletic in 2015 for £200,000, is open to a return to England where Championship rivals Reading have also expressed interest in signing him.
Sunderland manager Chris Coleman is keen to bolster his defensive options and wants a full-back who is comfortable going forward also.


Tavernier, who has made 25 appearances this season and scored four goals, has 18 months on contract and cash-strapped Rangers will listen to offers.
