Sunderland are set to miss out on Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, who has now arrived in Turkey for a medical with Fenerbahce.

Guendouzi has been the subject of long-standing interest from Sunderland, with Aston Villa and Newcastle United also having looked closely at the midfielder last summer.

The French international began his career with Lorient, before being signed by Unai Emery for Arsenal as a teenager in 2018, costing a fee in the region of £7m.
