    Sunderland could snap up Andreas Samaris
    The Black Cats bigwig told Portuguese news outlet Noticias Ao Minuto, “the agreement is closed”.

    However, it's suggested the £17m transfer will only be rubber stamped if David Moyes avoids the sack.

    The Scot is feeling the heat and could be packing his bags if his side lose to West Brom today.

    DAVID MOYES is certainly a big fan of working with players he has previously managed.

    Joleon Lescott could be reunited with David Moyes at Sunderland
    “Sunderland could snap up Andreas Samaris”

    Speaking earlier this week, Moyes claimed he was struggling to sign new players given Sunderland's perilous league position.

    “It’s difficult. I have found that already," he said.

    “I will always tell players how fantastic it is to play at a stadium that gets over 40,000 every week.

    David Moyes is keen to snap up Andreas Samaris
    "We have fantastic training facilities. You’re coming to work with a manager who wants to build and improve you.

    “But a lot of people will look and say the league position is difficult.

    "And you need a level of finance to go to a certain level of player.”

    Andreas Samaris is a Greece international
    Signing Samaris would be a real coup for the under-fire boss.

    The 27-year-old Greece international is an experienced campaigner and has racked up 63 appearances for the Portuguese heavyweights.

    Hehe no player's coming here were are finished we have not got 16 points either or is that record going to stick with us, too late after another crap performance today. Just give up now and accept relegation man, just like the players who can just **** off and not give a second thought bout us.

    So you're 3 points below Swansea, you have a better goal difference, and only 16 games to make it up? Yeah just give up now...

    Can't see Moyes being sacked as this article is saying, but these transfer targets are risky to say the least - big money panic foreign signings to relegation threatened clubs rarely work out, and Lescott didn't give a **** at Villa last season.
