Sunderland want to sign Danny Rose from Tottenham on a permanent transfer. The full back has been impressive at the Black Cats whilst spending time at the club on loan this year.
“He’s our player at the moment. Sunday will be his last game and then we will see. I don’t want to talk about the future because we have to focus on the next game," said manager Paolo di Canio.
“In my opinion, he can improve a lot defensively. He’s an attacking-minded left-back, but he has to improve a lot defensively.
“He’s got a great future in front of him. He’s a powerful guy. The strength and elasticity he’s got mean he can run forward with the ball and beat people easily.

“People have to realise there are two phases in the game – possession ball and non-possession ball. It’s crucial to be good in both situations.
