Sunderland defender Jan Kirchhoff is set to quit for a Premier League return.
The Sunderland Echo says Kirchhoff will leave Sunderland when his contract expires at the end of this month – but he could yet stay in the Premier League.
At least two Premier League clubs have expressed an interest in the 26-year-old, who has also has a number of offers from the Bundesliga.
But Sunderland's chaotic close season has scuppered any hopes they – or Kirchhoff – may have had of staying on Wearside.
Kirchhoff signed for the Black Cats in January 2016 and went on to play a crucial role in the great escape that followed under Sam Allardyce.
