According to talk sport.... Sunderland are set to lose out to Lazio in the race for Sporting Lisbon defender Bruno Pereirinha. The right-back has been tracked by both clubs this season but the Serie A side are now poised to triumph in the race for the signing. The 24-year-old is surplus to requirements under Sporting's head coach Jesualdo Ferreira and has failed to make a single league appearance for the first team in Portugal's top flight this season. Lazio are prepared to pay £2m for the full-back while Sunderland, who kept a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with Swansea on Tuesday night, will have to look for defensive reinforcements elsewhere
