http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCMgXa7VKG0 Sunderland are set to make an offer of £5.1 million for Lazio's Libor Kozak to take the striker ahead of Turkish side Besiktas, according to Calcio News. Kozak struggled to make an impact in Serie A last season, failing to score in 18 games and the player has been told he has no future at the Stadio Olimpico. The 24-year-old striker has already been linked with the Black Cats this summer although interest faded with the arrival of Jozy Altidore. However the rumours of Sunderland's interest have again picked up with Danny Graham leaving on loan for Hull City but the Wearside club will have to contend with Besiktas, who also have a keen interest in the Czech Republic international. The Black Eagles have already had a loan offer rejected by Biancocelesti, and with the club holding out for a permanent transfer, Sunderland aappear to be in a prime position to add to the player to their squad. The Daily Star reports that Paolo Di Canio still wants to bring more firepower to his squad after only one of his strikers managed to score a single goal in the Premier League last season. Kozak was prolific for Lazio in the Europa League, having scoring 10 goals in the clubs European campaign.
