However, Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is working on restricted budget and may not be able to bring the right-back in on a permanent transfer.

Yedlin struggled for games at Spurs but impressed Sunderland boss Allardyce when on loan at the Stadium of Light last season and "Big Sam" wants him back.
