Sunderland have agreed a fee for Jozy Altidore, with Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

Sunderland’s initial enquiry was rejected, however a second bid was enough to open up personal talks with the 23 year old US international.

The striker has scored 45 goasl in his two years in Dutch football and has previously played in the Premier League, when he made a loan move to Hull City for the 2009/10 season.
