Poyet eyes loan move for QPR keeper Cesar as Sunderland target January recruits



Sunderland manager Gus Poyet wants QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar.



Beleaguered Poyet is exploring ways to bolster his side, who sit five points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table, and has identified vastly experienced Cesar as someone who could trigger a revival.



The 34-year-old has been told he can leave Loftus Road and wants a move to ensure his place in the Brazil side for this summer’s World Cup.

Although Rangers were relegated from the Premier League last season, Cesar was one of the few to emerge with credit for his performances.



QPR would prefer a permanent transfer but Sunderland boss Poyet wants to push through a loan deal until the end of the season and take over Cesar’s wages.



Poyet has used Vito Mannone in goal since first choice Keiren Westwood picked up a head injury against Hull City in November yet Sunderland have still only taken one point out of the last 12.
