Corry Evans is understood to be having a medical at Sunderland having left Blackburn Rovers at the end of his contract.
The Northern Ireland international midfielder is expected to sign a two-year deal on Wearside and will be another experienced recruit for manager Lee Johnson after Alex Pritchard’s move to the Stadium of Light from Huddersfield Town.
What is Evans’ background?
Evans will be 31 at the end of the month and, having begun his career at Manchester United, has spent the last eight years at Ewood Park. He has 66 Northern Irish caps.
Evans’s brother Jonny had two productive spells on loan at Sunderland early in his career.
Is this a boost for Sunderland?
Evans’s arrival, along with Pritchard, should calm some of the growing nervousness on Wearside regarding signings.
The club are also thought to be making progress on a new striker, having lost Charlie Wyke to Wigan, whom they meet on the opening day of the season.
