Sunderland striker Danny Graham is set to move to Blackburn on loan for the rest of the season and will have medical on Tuesday, according to Sky sources.

The 30-year-old has struggled to break into Sunderland's first-team under Dick Advocaat and his successor Sam Allardyce this season, starting just four Premier League games.

Graham has made 12 appearances in total and started up front with Jermain Defoe in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Tottenham.
