Sky sources report that Trabzonspor forward Dame N'Doye is expected on Wearside for a medical ahead of a planned move to Sunderland on loan until the end of the season.
The former Hull striker joined the Turkish side for £2.2m in the summer but he has yet to find the net in 12 appearances so far this season.
The relegation-threatened Black Cats agreed a deal for Bayern Munich defender Jan Kirchoff last week and are now looking to strengthen in attack.
And N'Doye, a 30-year-old Senegal international, managed five goals after joining Hull last January, although he was unable to keep the Tigers in the top flight.
N'Doye, who previously had spells with Copenhagen and Lokomotiv Moscow, has 26 international caps, scoring at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
