Sunderland keen on Van Ginkel

Sunderland are closing in on the signing of Chelsea midfielder Marco Van Ginkel, according to the Metro.

The North East club are on the look-out for a new centre midfielder, and have identified the former Vitesse Arnhem man as their top target.

Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation, though Black Cats’ boss Dick Advocat is confident of winning the race to secure his services.
