David Moyes has accused midfielder Jeremain Lens of being "disgracefully disrespectful" to Sunderland after apparently claiming he might get the move he wants if they are relegated.
The 29-year-old Dutchman is currently on loan at Turkish club Fenerbahce under former Black Cats Boss Dick Advocaat, the man who brought him to the Stadium of Light in an £8million switch from Dynamo Kiev in July 2015, and earning rave reviews for his performances.
Advocaat is keen to strike a permanent deal for Lens and Sunderland are prepared to offload the player, who failed to make a lasting impact during his 13 months on Wearside, although no agreement is yet in place.
