Sunderland have reached an agreement with AZ Alkmaar over striker Jozy Altidore, but the player must still agree personal terms with the Black Cats.
According to multiple Dutch media outlets, AZ have agreed to sell the American to Sunderland and are now waiting for the striker to seal a switch to England.
The 23-year-old joined AZ in the summer of 2011 and has been a big hit at the Eredivisie outfit.
In his first season in Holland, the American found the back of the net 16 times in 34 Eredivisie games.
