SUNDERLAND are reported to be close to agreeing a season-long loan deal for Olympique Marseille's former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse.
According to the French club a deal is imminent.
On the Ligue 1 side's official website, club president Pape Diouf said: "An agreement in principle has been reached between OM and Sunderland for the loan of Djibril Cisse to the English club until the end of the season.
"Some details still need to be sorted out ahead of the confirmation of the loan."
The former Liverpool man has struggled to settle back into life in France, despite netting 16 league goals last season.
Cisse was linked with a return to the Premier League in the summer with both Blackburn Rovers and West Ham said to be interested.
