Sunderland are ready to move for Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone to fight with Anthony Patterson for a game.
The Black Cats have just brought in keeper coach Neil Cutler, as we revealed, and he is a huge fan of experienced Johnstone.
Cutler worked with Johnstone at Aston Villa and Wolves and would welcome a third chance at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland have been looking for expensive keepers in Europe but may look at a relative bargain with Wolves.
The move may happen as a loan because Johnstone still has a couple of years on a contract at Wolves.
