Sunderland are set to launch a player-plus-cash to complete the transfer of Blackburn’s Jordan Rhodes, according to reports.

The 25-year-old was strongly linked with a £12million switch to Middlesbrough earlier in the summer, but the Sun report that the Black Cats are lining up an irresistible offer for the striker.

It is believed the Premier League side are willing to offer Blackburn a hefty sum plus Will Buckley or Danny Graham on a season-long loan to secure the deal.

Rhodes has scored 73 goals in 134 league matches for Rovers following a prolific spell at Huddersfield, and could now be handed an opportunity in the top flight with Sunderland.
