Sunderland agree Will Buckley fee?

Sunderland have reportedly agreed a £2.5m fee for Brighton & Hove Albion winger Will Buckley.

It was rumoured on Monday that the Black Cats were keen on signing the 24-year-old, with whom manager Gus Poyet previously worked at the Amex Stadium.

Buckley's switch to the Stadium of Light is now understood to have moved a step closer, according to Sky Sports News.

West Bromwich Albion have also been linked with Buckley this summer.
