| Fabio Borini spent the 2013/14 season on-loan at Sunderland |
SUNDERLAND are closing in on a deal for Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.
Borini is set to move to the Stadium of Light for an initial £8m after seeing a proposed switch to Inter Milan collapse. He spent the 2013-14 season on loan at Sunderland but rejected a permanent switch 12 months ago.
Premier League new boys Watford were also interested in Borini, 24, but he seems destined to return to the North-East.
Borini has said his goodbyes to his Liverpool team-mates and had been expected to return to Italy with Inter.
But that move was called off and Sunderland are now in pole position to land Borini, who had been made to train on his own by manager Brendan Rodgers. They would pay an additional £2m depending on the player's progress.
