00:00Hello, this is Jason Jones from the Sunderland Echo. Let's have a look at a few of the deals that could go through between now and tonight's 11 o'clock transfer deadline on Weir's side.
00:09Obviously the big news this morning being that Sunderland look to have taken the lead in the race to sign Jadon Danz from Liverpool.
00:15On loan, the teenage striker's been linked with a whole host of championship clubs in recent days, but it does seem as if Sunderland are currently in poor position to sign him.
00:23In terms of other potential attacking targets, Papier-Sheriff N'Diaye, who's currently on the books at Red Star Belgrade, is a Senegalese striker.
00:31He's been linked with the stadium of light, but it remains to be seen whether Sunderland are actually going to pursue that deal or if it's just idle speculation at this stage.
00:39In terms of possible outgoings, Tommy Watson, of course, remains a target for Brighton. They've had a couple of bids knocked back for him already.
00:46Whether they're going to come in with more money to try and tempt Sunderland again remains to be seen.
00:51If he does go, Sunderland might look at bringing in another winger, but that winger almost certainly won't be Marcus Edwards, who looks set to complete their move to Burnley.
00:59It's understood that he underwent a medical on Sunday and that deal is highly anticipated at this stage, so it would be a surprise if he didn't sign for Burnley at the present moment in time.
01:09Trey Hulme has obviously emerged as a target for Fulham, but it's understood that Sunderland are going to set a very high asking price for him and that they're reluctant to sell the Northern Irish defender this month.
01:18In terms of other potential outgoings, ones that perhaps aren't getting as much first-team football at the Stadium of Light as they might like,
01:25Abdullah Barr, Gillis and Bennett, obviously both of those currently on the periphery of Regis and the British's plans, they're both being linked with an exit.
01:32Joe Anderson, 23-year-old defender who's currently playing for the under-21s, he is understood to be a target for Exeter.
01:40That would probably be a permanent move and at the moment it would appear that it's basically up to the player as to whether or not he actually wants to complete it or whether he wants to wait until the summer to weigh up his options then.
01:49Caden Kelly could be sent out on loan to Stockport County, that's one to keep an eye on.
01:53And then beyond that as well, Harrison Jones, under-21s captain, signed a new deal at the Stadium of Light recently and has been getting more of a look in in the first-team picture,
02:01but the understanding is that Sunderland would ideally like him to head out and gain more senior experience if possible.
02:06So he's another player who could be heading out on loan between now and this evening.
