Sunderland’s summer spree shows no sign of stopping, with Paolo Di Canio poised over the signing of Greece international midfielder Charis Mavrias from Panathinaikos, according to the Athens News Agency.

The Black Cats were understood to have tabled a €2m offer for Mavrias two weeks ago, which was rejected, but are now ready to bring the 19-year-old to England on a reported €3m deal.

The 19-year-old  Greek  has made 51 Appearances and scored 3 goals for Panathinaikos

Mavrias has been targeted by Anderlecht, AS Monaco, Inter and Juventus

Panathinaikos have revealed that a verbal agreement is in place for Mavrias, who was under contract with the Greek giants until 2016.

If the deal does go through, Mavrias will become Sunderland’s seventh full signing of this summer, the fifth from an overseas club.

Mavrias joined Panathinaikos in 2010 and has managed 69 appearances for the Greek Super League club, who finished outside the European places last season.
