Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has confirmed his club's interest in Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari.
Benjani, 31, has found himself out in the cold at Eastlands in recent months and could be on his way to Wearside for a fee in the region of £500,000.
The Zimbabwe international has started just 21 Premier League games during two years with the Citizens following his arrival from Portsmouth.
"We have entered into discussions with his representatives about the player," confirmed Bruce.
"We have just looked at the situation and we feel we are juggling the balls in the air a little bit and you are just hoping the squad is big enough and strong enough.
"With the injuries we have, we are worried we are a little bit light in that area, and we have decided that we will try to make a move."
