Steve Bruce hopes to seal a loan move for Lyon defender John Mensah within the next 48 hours
The Black Cats manager confirmed on Monday morning that he is close to agreeing a deal to bring the player to the Stadium of Light for the season.
Bruce said: "It's fair to say that we are close to agreeing a deal. I'll hopefully know more in the next 24-48 hours, but we hope so."
Bruce is still on the look-out for defensive reinforcements with Paraguay international Paulo Da Silva yet to reach full match fitness after missing all of pre-season because of administrative problems with his switch to English football.
It is understood Mensah, 26, is heading for Wearside to complete a temporary move with the option of a permanent transfer at the end of the season.
