Manchester City are expecting a raft of late interest in midfielder, Adam Johnson, before the close of the transfer window on Wednesday night.
Johnson has failed to tie down a regular first team spot at the Etihad Stadium and places are only going to become harder to come by after the arrival of Samir Nasri.
The 24 year-old joined the club only 18 months ago but could be tempted by a move away.
Sunderland are one Premier League club known to be interested in signing the England international and there are expected to be more, along with clubs from Italy and Spain.
