Tony Mowbray’s side have now made a forward their priority signing after their worst possible start this season.
And they are keen on bringing in Zorya Lugansk forward Rusyn in a bid to bolster their upfront options.
The Black Cats are claimed to have lodged a €2m bid for the Ukrainian star and are currently in negotiations with Zorya Lugansk for a potential deal for the 24-year-old attacker.
Rusyn’s inclusion in Mowbray’s side could give the Championship outfit an essential attacking filip moving forward.
And it is now suggested that the Black Cats are hoping to make a breakthrough in a possible deal for the Ukrainian attacker before their next league game against Rotherham, which is scheduled to be held on Saturday.
Sunderland are looking to return to the path of victory soon amid their hopes of pushing for another promotion bid this season.
And it remains to be seen whether Mowbray’s side will witness a crucial contribution from Rusyn moving forward in the event of the Ukrainian arriving at the Stadium of Light.
