Pratley Set For Sunderland Move?
Tribal football are reporting that Sunderland have emerged as favourites to sign Darren Pratley in the summer
The Swansea City midfielder has also been linked with a move to Birmingham City in recent weeks but it is now reported that Steve Bruce's Sunderland have emerged as favourites - even if the Swans win promotion to the Premier League this season.
The report reads talkSPORT says Pratley, off contract in June, will choose Sunderland ahead of rival Bosman offers from Birmingham City and the Swans.
Swansea, who sit fifth in the Championship, turned down a bid for Pratley from promotion rivals Nottingham Forest in January but now look certain to lose him on a free transfer even if they secure promotion the Premier League this season.
And it is understood that Sunderland are on the verge of agreeing a deal to take Pratley to the Stadium of Light in the summer.
