Kieran Richardson looks set to be moving to Fulham after Sunderland accepted a £2m bid from the Cottagers for the 27-year-old.
The versatile former England international was not included in the Black Cats 18-man squad for the Capital One Cup victory over Morecambe on Tuesday night.
Martin O’Neill confirmed afterwards: “A club has made an offer for him and we, as a club, have accepted that and it gives Kieran the opportunity to find out for himself.
“If it doesn’t materialise and he comes back, I’ll still be pleased but it’s a position we might have to go and have a look at.”
There has been plenty of speculation over the future of the former Manchester United player, who moved to Wearside from Old Trafford for £5.5m in 2007.
He is in the final year of his current deal at the Stadium of Light and would be a good addition to the Fulham squad, considering he can play on the left wing, at left back and even as a secondary striker.
Should Richardson move on, Sunderland have been linked to replacing him with Dnipro left back and Croatian international, Ivan Strinic.
