Argentina international right back Gino Peruzzi is closing in on a move to Sunderland. The club is now ready to make a $5 million deal for the Velez defender.
The Black Cats' manager Paolo Di Canio has been monitoring the player for over two months.
The versatile 21-year-old  - who is comfortable playing in both defence and in midfield -  has been chased by a host of European clubs but Sunderland have won the race.
Peruzzi has appeared for Argentina's national team four times, so is almost automatically eligble for a work permit in England.Â
Sunderland have been busy in the transfer market this summer but have mostly parted ways with players as opposed to signing them.
