Sunderland target Yedlin

Yedlin (R) challenges Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta

Sunderland are hoping to sign DeAndre Yedlin from Tottenham on a permanent deal after the defender's loan spell at the Stadium of Light last season.

However, Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is working on restricted budget and may not be able to bring the right-back in on a permanent transfer.

Should Sunderland not seal a permanent deal for the USA international, Allardyce will try to strike up another loan deal for the 22-year-old.

Yedlin struggled for games at Spurs but impressed Sunderland boss Allardyce when on loan at the Stadium of Light last season and "Big Sam" wants him back.
