Sunderland are working on a late deal to sign Ajax striker Brian Brobbey, with Marc Guiu expected to return to Chelsea, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano.
It's a tricky situation for Sunderland, with Guiu now likely to leave the club after only a few weeks at the Stadium of Light. Regis Le Bris' side have little time to find a replacement, so they'll be working right up until the deadline to bring in a new centre-forward before the window slams shut.

"EXCLUSIVE: Sunderland work on deal to sign Bryan Brobbey as new striker from Ajax. Not easy but talks underway to try get it done as Marc Guiu is expected to return to Chelsea on #DeadlineDay. #SAFC are on it and also look for new CB."
Brobbey, described as 'lethal' by Breaking The Lines, could be an exciting replacement for Guiu if he is forced to return to Chelsea. Guiu only joined Sunderland earlier in the transfer window on loan for the season, but after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury, the Blues are in the market for a new centre-forward with just hours to go until the window closes.
