Sunderland make loan bid for Cristian Rodriguez

Cristian Rodriguez to seal move to England

Cristian Rodriguez has been linked with a temporary loan move to Sunderland from Atletico Madrid. The 28-year-old is ready to quit the Spanish club for a short term spell in the Premier League.

Uruguayan international Rodriguez had been linked with a permanent move to Italy, with several teams making an enquiry for the player. However, Sunderland coach Gus Poyet is confident that he can use his South American influence to lure the 5 foot 10 winger to the Stadium of Light.

The former Porto man is hoping a successful spell in England will secure him a permanent move to the Premier League.
